No, that’s not all you said. Besides, Rabbi Lew was approached and worked with Rabbi Krinsky. What in the world is your problem? Please take your jealosy and hatred for one of the people the Rebbe chose to work with – i.e., Rabbi krinsky – and push them off the Azozel cliff together with the other Klipos.

About my comment #3 ill i said was talk to bistritzky details as he says he spoke to others too and he was first asked to go (it was chadakov not krinsky) and other little details.

quote “R.Krinsky said, “whenever there are obstacles with what the Rebbe has said, he saw that there was tremendous success”. That’s right R. Krinsky, that’s why all the obstacles coming from within Lubavitch to block Moshiach is only a sign of the success it will be!!!

Unbelievable

HUH??? How do you know that Rabbi Lew hasn’t discussed this Leibel Bistritzky? I know, in fact, that he has – in my presence. Why don’t you do some research yourself? What **really** went on? What are you suggesting with this? To me, your post smells of some agenda. I think you need to get a life on Erev Yom Kippur and not try to throw cold water on such a great story with the Rebbe.

do a little research,

I know a lot of people have stories to tell, but its important before publishing them to get to the bottom of what happened.

In regards to this story it may be wise to contact a Lubavitcher named Leible Bistritzky whom I believe lives today is Israel……he may be able to shed some light on what really went on, who requested that someone come out there, who they asked for and who brought this to the Rebbes attention

shmuel lew rocks!
