Some people there have rent parties.
I used to live close to Schenectady and Union ( 1703 Union). I bought a hunting slingshot, broke some windows, heard some screams… that was the end of the music!

Which block?… If you live after Utica you can’t expect much

Perhaps Union near Schenectady?

I used to live at 1703 Union. Summertime Woes. At about the same time, Saturday night, in the Summer, on the Southeast side of Schenectady and Union Streets, were sitting, on a stoop, two teenagers with a big Boombox straddled across both of their knees. This racket didn’t stop even though it was 1 or 2 in the morning! The police arrived about 20 minutes after I called them. One of the offices exited the vehicle and went over to the two teenagers.

The music is only 3.5 nights and is only heard within 1 block. And even within. The block if you close the windows you can’t hear anything.

That isn’t true, it can be heard with the windows closed. I understand the beauty and importance of the miyzvah but does the music really need to be playing past 12 30 at night? Why can’t it transition to regular singing?

Can hear on Union bet NY & Brooklyn.

Another foolish comment by a foolish Lubavitcher?
You’re doing a great service to the Rebbe, MH”M.

I have lived on montgomery and kingston and moved to union and snectady. You cant compare simchas beis hashuava for a few days to the music blasting any given night or day. Not to talk about the shootings too.

Yes, music on the corner of Kingston and Montgomery- who is that disturbing besides you? Plenty of nice, happy, non-violent people who won’t harass you or steal the UPS packages left on your porch. Pick up the corners of your mouth and be grateful instead of hateful.

Drug dealers

I live on Union St between Schenectady and Utica and there is “drug parties” on the block most nights.

Use a stop watch to see how fast they come.

You’re just exaggerating

I don’t even live on Union street and even if I did I’m a very, very heavy sleeper and I probably would be at simchas beis hashieva by then.

maybe they're trying to match the noise we make

The words in their music is extremely offensive and is a reflection of today’s “culture’but we must keep in mind that sometimes we are very discourteous and inconsiderate with the noise we make, whether it’s with kedushah intent or not, chas v’sholom.
