The books being marginalized here are impressive and insightful and I have spoke with many many unzerer chassidim in our schnuna, young and old who have told me they felt closer to the Rebbe after reading these books

Some people live by spice alone….They are not the ones that zaro lchayim refer to…

Ever had plain bread? Not the best taste.
Ever had bread with spices? Pretty good.
But please don’t try eating spices by themselves.

“mekabel es haemes mimi sheomroy”
give the bochur some slack ,he brought out the point beautifully,and i think yea pun intended which was brought out with the humor..
and besides there was no one else opening there mouths..
i admire this bochur

very intelegent
June 23, 2014 1:53 pm

this bochur is obviously very intelligent and is saying something very important that we should all take to heart. The only thing is that I dont think is that he should be the one making this statement, and certainly not in such a joking way. The books being marginalized here are impressive and insightful and I have spoke with many many unzerer chassidim in our schnuna, young and old who have told me they felt closer to the Rebbe after reading these books. The message is brilliant, yes, but the messenger should have been different and a different method of… Read more »

Well said!

I hope that the spreading of this short video clip gives you great chius, in nigleh and in nistar…May the great oiros of the Rebbe’s Torah and ideology light your way in life.

There is a saying:
When there’s a will, there’s a way.
If you want to read you will read.
It just depends if you like to read or not.
What is the big deal?
And what is comical about a avid reader who can read and it just so happens to be that it’s not string subject taught in chabad schools?

OY HASHEM!!!

What more can I say?
We need Moshiach already!!!!

Thank you Sruli

How true #14

indeed….

Correct

i think comment number 28 got exactly the message that this bochur was trying to deliver

BRILLIANCE

Someone has their head screwed on tightttt

fantastic
June 22, 2014 7:48 pm

Hit the point!!!

spot on
June 22, 2014 7:36 pm

Love it!!!!!

understanding what he means
June 22, 2014 7:03 pm

This bocher is not intending that you should not read these books that came out now..
what he means is that everyone is making such a big deal of them. . As if till now we didn’t have this great wealth
may we be zocheh to torah chadosho miti titzeh bkorov

Sruli you’re amazing! As usual, telling it like it is with a little bit of dry humor added just to spice it up!
Yeleich mechayil el choyil and keep the nachas coming!!!

See today’s hayom yom, chof daled sivan, very powerful.

Cute...
June 22, 2014 5:53 pm

I don’t think this should have been done with any sense of comedy. The point is a beautiful one, as expressed in today’s (24 Sivan) Hayom Yom.
The real humor I find is that we actually believed a Lubavitch Bochur was able to read three, 500+ page English books!
Moshiach Now

Rebbe
June 22, 2014 5:10 pm

Kol hakavod!

Give Rebbe. Pure Rebbe. No better way to give people Rebbe then thru the Rebbe’s Chassidus.

Avid reader
June 22, 2014 4:39 pm

Still laughing!!!!

Why not read both?
June 22, 2014 4:30 pm

Of course the Rebbe’s Torah is mandatory reading. But why is it a contradiction to ALSO read these new biographies. They can inspire a person to learn even more and also motivate someone in avodas Hashem.

things move quickly
June 22, 2014 4:16 pm

Rabbi Schapiro mentioned this video at the Florida Shabbaton this week. He thought it was a great point brought up by this bochur.

Awesome stuff

sorry but unimpressed….
June 22, 2014 2:27 pm

bh
i think that the knew books written about the rebbe, by Rabbi Steinzaltz, Telushkin and Rabbi Miller, allow us to see and appreciate the seforim that we have, much more. anyone who read them knows what im talking about, and anyone who didnt could greatly benefit from reading them.

Go Sruly
June 22, 2014 2:04 pm

Amaaaaaazing go sruly! You’re a true Chassidisher Bochur. You make us all proud.

How old is he?
June 22, 2014 1:30 pm

Is he “in the parsha”?

he said what i was thinking
June 22, 2014 1:21 pm

kol hakavod. the books that came out are great for mekuravim, those who didn’t get a chance to learn yet. a lubavitcher should really stick to the old fashion books – they’re allot better.

excellent
June 22, 2014 1:19 pm

100% right

Hahahahahaha

this is brilliant!!
June 22, 2014 12:32 pm

sometimes as chassidim we wait to see what inspires the ‘velt’ and then we react in the same way, running to buy a book that a ballabus would love and would teach him so much. This is upside down! the way it is supposed to be, where we, as chassidim of the rebbe, get inspired, and fall in love with the original, and then, to make it accessible to everyone ells we write books for the general public. this bochur hit the nail on the head, Yaasher Koach!
