while i watched this video and it was so beautiful, i still am reminded of what that wonderful couple went through and still feel the pain of such tragedy…..all the events in their name are truly inspiring but the tragedy lingers on for all the individuals and their families who need to go on with their lives…..heartbreaking.

wow!

Bs”d
Does anyone have a picture of the following:
As the crowd turned onto the main parkway from Oholei Torah’s corner, they were holding hands in a circle.

As the crowd moved deeper onto the parkway, the ‘circle’ took on a rectangular shape and became longer and longer and longer as more and more and more Yidden streamed, hand-in hand, onto the parkway.

At one point, they took up half of the length of the parkway between Brooklyn and Kingston.

It was so moving, so beautiful.

Such unity-

Moshiach should have come and revealed himself.

We all want him NOW!!!

tears r rolling!!!!

It was so exhilarating to be part of this event. The Rebbe lives on through the shluchim and his chassidim.

Inspired

I kept my kids up late last night and took them out to march and watch the dancing. The atmosphere was incredible, the unity and the crowd was something you don’t experience often, it took me back to the days before gimmel tammuz when I was a child, I am so glad my kids got to experience something as spiritual and uplifting as that.

Wow!

November 13, 2009 2:08 am

It was a such an awesome feeling to be part of something special like this. The Achdus was so incredible. It didn’t matter how cold it was but the warmth of everyone together, made the coldness dissappear.May we have the complete revelation with Our Rebbe, and Gabi & Rivky, with the coming of MOSHIACH NOW!

Please join this group in their memory!

After the levaya, I organized a Shabbos Mevorchim Challah Baking Group L’illuy Nishmas the Kedoshim of Mumbai. It has people baking & distributing Challah from all over the world…but sadly, very few Lubavitchers participate.

I send out email reminders every month along with other interesting information re Challah. Next month I will report on this fantastic event. If you would like to be a part of this group, please email me at

So uplifing
November 13, 2009 12:35 am

Having been there last night, I have to differ with the crowd estimate and say that there were AT LEAST 9,000-12,000 people there. It was amazingly uplifting, and everyone that calls himself Lubavitch who was in Crown Heights at the time was there.

I would have to say that there is nobody in Lubavitch that is as loved as Gabi and Rivky.Whether you are the staunchest anti or wildest Tzfati, you respect, love, admire and yearn for them.

wow
November 13, 2009 12:20 am

i wish i was there!

we are ready
November 13, 2009 12:00 am
