Crown Heights residents may recall seeing a 55-inch screen in Kinston Bake Shop last year during Tishrei, playing clips of the Rebbe speaking about Tznius. Well, they are about to see round two – only this time, there will be three screens in three different locations.
“Talking Windows” is the name of this new round. The title was the brainchild of master producer Ronen Peled of Kinus Hashlichim banquet fame, who contributed the clips’ introductory heading. Nor was he the only one who lent his aid and expertise to make this project happen.
JEM gave the clips and Yonoson Hackner, Tzion Yakubov and Itzhak Batash donated a combination of morale, technical, and monetary support.
The participating stores owners are Mr. Gutman Skoblo (E& I Treasure, shoe store), Mr. Salomon Gavrielov (Yehuda, barber shop), and Mr. Simcha Stroh and Mr. Gershon Newmann (Sterling Electronics).
“We hope to triple the awareness in the Rebbes’s Koch in Tznius, “said Mrs. Chana Scharf, coordinator of Bnos Melech B’Yachad, the organization behind the project, “We want to see with our eyes, the Brochos that the Rebbe reiterated so many times.”
“All in all, these “Talking Windows,” clips which will run on a six-minute loop, should be a wonderful addition to the upcoming Shluchim convention weekend.” she added.
Bnos Melech B’Yachad hopes to continue running “Talking Windows” – the Rebbe talking through the store windows of Crown Heights – for several weeks following the convention and plans to have a special production ready for Kinus HaShluchos on Chof Beis Shvat.
Any Crown Heights store wishing to host an additional screen should please email [email protected].
I weep for CH and for the Rebbe…
#2 ????
#3 Shluchim deal with people who don’t know any better. This is the Rebbe speaking to HIS CHASSIDIM and YES he did demand standards etc. CH is the Rebbe’s shechunah…
#8 It’s not HATE! It’s the Rebbe’s words!
#21 A fair point, it needs to be part of a bigger campaign
#22 A little much??? I think the lack of tznius is “a little much”….
In every store? Let’s enhance the message of tsnius, in a subtle, less intense way.
if a person is not Tzinius, and they see the Rebbes video, I dont think that they are going to start dressing different because of a video
A new book called Bas Melech Pnima just came out with all the Rebbe’s talks and letters on modesty. It’s very well put together and makes a good impression. Worth reading.
See igros where the Rebbe writes that there are some instances where it is not only acceptable but advisable for one to raise their voice and cry out to someone with regard to their actions… the Rebbe goes on to give the examples of tznius andchilul Shabbos, where he says one should not even be concerned about embarrassing the person.
Why is it being pushy when you remind someone of the brochos that are given to us in the Zchus of tzniusdik,It is a bit silly to say that the RebBe would not have liked this .I may be wrong ,but the kind of thinking you express would negate the concept mivtzoim We all have issues that are harder for us to keep but please , calling the video hateful is totall unfair.
It’s refreshing to hear the Rebbe’s approach to tznius.
I guess i’m the only one who agrees with you.
BH We are so blessed to have these horaos. Torah puts woman on a pedestal. Our girls need to realize that they are so much more than their exteriors.

What a beautiful and positive way to bring across the message!
Well said!!
how is this hate or preachy?
to remind us what our holy Rebbe says about ways that we can bring about brochos to ourselves and what can chas vsholom happen if we do the opposite
this actually is an action of love and care
it is you who hates
you hate the video
you hate being reminded
you may hate that you have these halachos
but in reality your neshama is crying out
Hashem guides us through the Torah how we should live our lives
and we should bless Him every day that we have guidance that allows us to go about in a way of self-respect
Mechayil el chayil.
Stop the hate !!!
This appears to be a very positive way of communicating a very important message. I don’t see how anyone can be offended by this.
Hatzlacha rabba.
You can view it right here on COLLIVE
See above.
Amazing project. We need more of this.
It seems many people still run on the assumption that “If people knew that the rebbe said you should be tznius, they would do it” So we shove it in their face, expecting it to work it’s magic. Go read a sicha. there’s nothing further than the rebbe’s derech. Ask any shliach if this works, Or, if it drives a disconnect. I feel bad to break the bad news but some people don’t care. It’s true they have a shaychus with the rebbe, but by exploiting it you just alienate them. The Sefer habris writes: “Al kol psha’im yichaseh ahavas… Read more »
Preachy
is there a way to get the 6-minute video for those not privileged to be in CH for SHabbos?
