Chabad be proud of Chabad and Satmar be Proud of Satmar
December 24, 2011 9:48 pm

Both Communities have a lot to be proud of. Lets each focus on the MAALOS CHAVERENU VELO CHESRONAM.While continuing the path each our parents chose. Yes true we dont go on Shlichus. We did help Rubashkin with all out might.Money , Petition, etc.I am Satmar but come from a country where Chabad does Excelent Kiruv

I have no clue if people will see this...

Someone ,mentioned above that we “missed our spot” of being the largest sitdown dinner.
From the pictures above, it looks like not everyone, even MOST people, did not get food.
Noone has put as much effort as chabad. You can see a clip on youtube that took a warehouse and made it into an amazing hall!!
You have to remain strong! Just because they outnumber us, they dont go on shlichus, they just sit in williamsburgh or wherever they reside!!!
Chabad acts.

Not Always Available

The armory is not always available for our use. Other events go on there too. It’s not so simple to make the kinus hashluchim there every year.

The followers of Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum oldest son of Beirach Moshe were in NYS national Guard Armory & the followers of Rabbi Zalman (3rd son of Beirach Moshe) took place in Williamsburg Marcy Armory

I guess chesed brings all of us together. Like
Rabbi Birnbaum wrote in the Yated,
You dont have to be a chusid of Satmar to be a chusid of Satmar chesed. It all started with Reb Yoel Teitelbaum Ztzl
and gets stronger each day. Reb Aron sets a wonderful example as is definitely worthy of being at the helm of Satmar today.

Kinus Hashluchim
December 18, 2011 3:14 pm

This place – as we already know – is TOO SMALL for the Kinus hashluchim. The Kinus is a sit down dinner affair with round tables, no bleachers no narrow long tables, we can’t fit there. satmar has it – Kaviyachul – in a “Farbrangen” style – then obviously you can do it.

there are as many lubavitchers with beards too
say halivai and b’ezras Hashem that all Lubavitchers and all Satmars etc have beards. Unfortunately the yeridas hadoirois has hit all circles, even if you don’t see it in these pics>May Hashem bentch all Yidden and bring Moshiach NOW

so nice to see everyone with beards

No need to leave CH
December 18, 2011 11:59 am

Beautiful, no need to leave CH for the kinnus again.
There is room for all, now for sukkas Dovid…..

kinnus hashluchim
December 18, 2011 11:46 am

Thanks

great fund raiser
December 18, 2011 10:18 am

This event raises millions of dollars for the satmar mosdos!

we lost the spot
December 18, 2011 10:18 am

I think this means we can’t claim our kinnus is the biggest sitdown dinner in NY… This thing looks a lot bigger, and there was food served.

unbelievable
December 18, 2011 10:16 am

wow so many ppl in such an organized manner

Wow!
December 18, 2011 10:14 am

And don’t forget this is only HALF of Satmar! The other half are R’ Zalman Leib’s Chassidim. They were elswere…..

There is a lot to learn.
December 18, 2011 10:13 am

That is very wonderful and nice.
We had only Shluchim at the convention that is the difference.
If we would have Amcho come there would not be enough places by us too.
Not Chas Vesholom that I am degrading the Satmar Convention the opposite Tovoy Aleihem Brocho.
I’m very proud of what Yidishe people around the world are trying and hopefully accomplishing the task they started to do.

Same Niggun?
December 18, 2011 10:07 am

Anyone know if they use the same niggun as we do to sing “B’cha Bat’chu Avoseinu” ?
