Gabboim of Congregation Lubavitch and the administration of Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch are arguing over who is responsibility it is to pay for the work.
Caring bochurim quickly pick up the seforim from the side room and brought them into the small and main shul.
As of now, Tuesday night, seforim are still not being collected and return to the bookshelves.
EXCUSE ME BUT WHAT ARE “YELLOWS”???? AND WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO DO WITH SEFORIM ON THE FLOOR!!!!???
Tova tachat tova…
Do not leave 770 without donating 5 minutes of your time:
Kindly pick us up and return us where we belong!

The Sfarim!
Any bochor who dumps holy sforim on floor should not learn in the Rebbe’s Yeshivah. Get these morons out of this Yeshivah or make them pay for this massive chillul Hashem and tell them how they must do teshuvah for doing such a disgracful thing. How stupid are these kids these days, I am really sickened by this. Do bochrim reach any Shulcan Aruch, or even the Kitzur about how to treat a sefer? The Rov in Crown Heights should have a long talk with these boys and make them do communtiy service or no Smicha. This garbage should not… Read more »
People should behave like People and return siddurim and sfarim to the bookcases from whence they took them and would like to find them in the future.
1. Yes, if you have a job, it is good to be paid for it. 2. Yes, these are holy items, so even if pay was delayed a few days, it’s still a nice thing to do. 3. The Rebbe loved a clean shul and there were times he would stop and pick up a cigarette butt off the floor to keep the place clean. 4. That said, many bachurim are just plain lazy and leave tons of seforim all over the place. The rule should be that if you take it off the shelves, put it back when you’re… Read more »
For No. 23, The facts you can not change. The boys threw the holy books on the floor are yellow. Everyone. (Guessing right of number 1). They put the holy books at the entrance to the office of the Executive, to make them pay. This is violence. Even if they’re right, no guys OK to behave this way towards management. And the threat of the remote (bottom line) I do not want to talk. The Rebbe would cry to see the books on the floor, and see the behavior of those yellow boys. Let it be clear – I know… Read more »
Good job!
someone please go and put these back, it hurts my eyes to see this!
i’d gladly go but i’ve got to stay on the ladies side 🙂
reminds me why after learning Kuntres Beis Rabeinu ShebiBavel with my friend we took on a hachloto to make sure we put seforim back on their designated shelf when we were done.
if we each do our part it’ll lower the cost they are charging 😉
“Something tells me there were yellows involved..”
You guys both wrote on the wrong site. This is COL not the others, please help keep this site hate-free, people with agendas have a choice of media
Y r they on the floor!!!!!!!!?????????????/
No make any sense wat so ever!!!!!!!!!!
I’m very saddened from this sight. These bocherim should be sent home. A disgrace to Lubavitch. This is an embarrassment to us and should not be posted on line. In a few words- a Chillul Lubavitch and a Chillul Hashem
If the Rebbe would walk into 770, I´m sure he´d be very pleased by the sight of his Sforim thrown on the floor, and all for money…
Is that how much we care about Sforim? Then why are we so happy on Didan Notzach?
Forget about payment, no payment, who´s in charge, who´s responsible, who´s fault it is, who´s worse… I don´t care.
BUT SFORIM THROWN ON THE FLOOR?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it seems a lot of energy goes into what could be called “the rebbe’s seder” – setting up his table, etc. maybe those same people who ha e that energy, and likely are not paid for that, maybe they can be told in exchange for having the right to do the charade they do, they have to take care of the shul a little? it does seem like many comments above make sense, people perhaps could put away their books as they use them; and as well, if there are two sets of people (baale batim davening and maybe doing… Read more »
I don’t get it seforim are on the floor. we either understand the importance of kedusha or not. My brother was in yeshiva and because my parents couldn’t afford the tuition they offered my brother the position at the end of the day to put back all the seforim on the cases with another friend. the yeshiva was so mentchlich they understood my brother would need extra spending money and paid him. it was a win win. but it really saddens me to know that seforim are on the floor wow! 🙁
A Shaliach from France once told about a man who came up to him and said ” Rabbi, I need to give you this, as I don’t knoe where to put it, I have been carrying it around with me for a while. “It” turned out to be a small piece from an Israeli newspaper…but the man did not read Hebrew. He simply remembered being taught from a very young age that Hebrew letters are holy, and need to be treated with respect, so he held on to a small piece of paper until he found someone who would know… Read more »
This is upstairs 770
The Rebbe made sure to pay for work
A person works on a drive. These bochurim work on a drive for money not necessarily on the upkeep of the shul. Now if you dont pay them what do you expect to happen?! Now we see when an employer has workers and doesn’t pay them on time they work with a half heart. Please and this goes to every place in our communities please pay your employees on time, otherwise in some cases like such you won’t get full effort
Don’t be so lazy……If you take it from the shelf, return it to the shelf. Simple….
I thought we were known as “people of the book”?! What a shanda. “Shlepping” of sforim is hard work?! Oh boo hoo. Get over it and consider it a priviledge and an honor to keep our little beis hamikdosh clean and presentable. Quit whining and man up.
Lubavitcher kids expect to be paid for everything they do. What happened to just doing something because it’s the right thing to do? Or doing something because it needs to be done? And not just kids, the adults, too. Very hard to find volunteers because everyone wants to be paid or get something in return.
The yeshivah must first pay for using the shule everyday. The bochurim use the shul the most and don’t pay a dime for its use.
The soforim shall be paid by the yeshiva and sidurim by the shul
Its not their responsibility to the sforim to put them away. whoever takes out a sefer should put it away. The fact that they took on the job is on condition of payment if they don’t get paid (for their hard shlepping work) then they are no more responsible for the respect of sforim than you or me.
Nothing new… they fought about the lights.. then the lights went out for a day.. I believe R’ Cunin is now paying for the gas and electric.
you’re v. quick to judge the bochrim, but i dont see you there picking up the seforim
The Bachurim like anyone else have to get paid & they should not purposely pile up the seforim like that.Just leave them where they are & refuse to put them away!
payed or not these are the hly books
Typical abuse of bochurim. Its a shame that it has to come down to this, particularly with seforim in the Rebbe’s shul, I’m not aware of the halachos, but I was under the impression that Torah mandates that workers have to be paid on time. I don’t know how so many running our Mosdos hire people without the means to pay them on time. I hope these guys get paid soon, and normal service will resume quickly
Payment should be a one way ticket back to Israel.
If they were not paid then they should protest by not collecting the seforim. But to collect them and then go dump them on the floor in front of the Yeshiva office is a bizayon for the seforim and against halacha!
Something tells me there were yellows involved..
