Fantastic d’var – and without notes. We need more rabbis and teachers who can speak with such passion and intelligence. Thank G-d for ChaBaD and may HaShem bless Mayor Booker!

My my my whats the big deal
April 8, 2011 3:17 am

No need to make such a big deal. This man should be President of the USA, not mayor of Newark. He got my vote.

b”H
If he will add, klal Yisrael must keep Shabbat, then he will also help bring Moshiach, and none of us will have to be martyrs again, and we will indeed be a great light to ourselves and all mankind.

i agree with #36!!!!!!!!!!!!

March 29, 2011 3:15 pm

Many years ago I met Cory Booker at a Chabad Megilla reading in Newark NJ. He delivered an inspiring Dvar Torah and I was extremely impressed. My friends and I decided he should be the Mayor of Newark, the Governor of New Jersey, and then President of the United States. So far, one out of three . . . .

love him
March 29, 2011 8:54 am

i have always liked mayor booker he is a very rounded man hope he goes for president i will vote for him

I get to watch it – any advice?

A 21st Century Jethro
March 1, 2011 11:31 am

Cory breathes new life into we Jews, Chabadniks, Jews by Choice or birth, who will listen to good advice from any source.
Certainly one of conviction and courage, too rarely found among our political leaders, today. A man sent by Hashem, he deserves an ‘Aliya’.
