One of the things that the Chabad-Lubavitch faith does is promote visiting the grave of their late leader, in Queens, New York City. They expend great effort trying to get both Jews and non-Jews to visit it, promoting it as an act that will bring success. They endeavor and toil to bring prominent personalities, including politicians, to it, as part of the Chabad-Lubavitch propaganda campaign, promoting the crypt of their late leader as the Jewish place to visit (as part of their longstanding effort to promote themselves as the leaders of the Jewish people, and their late Rebbe as the leader of the Jews), and the site to kowtow to Jewish voters. Should some politician visit it and later have some political success, such as being elected, or otherwise, Chabadskers refer to it in way of explanation. Of course, they don't similarly publicize when such visitors lose.
With that in mind, let us look at what happened recently in NYC, where a radical anti-Israel candidate just won election to the mayoralty.
Andrew Cuomo, the candidate backed by many Orthodox Jews and Hasidim, visited the crypt of the Chabad-Lubavitch Rebbe before the election. So did his Republican opponent Curtis Sliwa. As did the current Mayor, Eric Adams, who has visited there multiple times. What was the result? They all went down to defeat, in a big way.
On the other hand, the election winner, Zohran Mamdani, did not visit the Chabad-Lubavitch tomb, yet emerged with a stunning, historic victory.
Takeaway: Losers visit the Chabad-Lubavitch crypt. Don't be fooled by the Chabadsker fraud campaign.
May G-d lead us in the path of truth and save us from scam artists, even those who pose as religious and holy.
In 2015 a horse named American Pharoah won Triple Crown. The third race was the Belmont Stakes in Queens. The agent for the horse's jockey was Orthodox and he was friends with a Chabad Rabbi in my neighborhood. After the horse won the Belmont the Rabbi gave a speech in shul announcing that the horse won because of the Rebbe's Brocha. The Rabbi had no idea what the Triple Crown was in racing but he was happy for any opportunity to credit the Rebbe.
ReplyDeleteLol they don’t go because they think it will make them win they go because they think it will get them votes…
ReplyDeleteEither way they are losers.
DeleteI'd like to share this. It isn't exactly on the subject but it's close. Many years ago I was listening to Shmuel Butman on his Motzei Shabbos program. He told a story about someone who went to the Rebbe with some problem but he wasn't helped. I wondered why he told the story but a minute later I had the answer. "Do you know why he wasn't helped? It's because he didn't fully believe in the Rebbe's power to save him"
ReplyDeleteTremendous anecdote. They win either way!
