Chametz or Chumus? Do you realize that most people who were watching the show are the ones who most probably eat Chametz and many are intermarried? Sure Chumus is something that many Jews do not eat on Pesach, but in the big scheme of things, are you saying it is making a churban and a chilul Lubavitch? Friend, get off your high horse, go out on Shlichus, see what is going on out there…….. It is unfortunate that there are Lubavitcher Chasidim that all they can do is criticize a Shliach who is out on the front lines doing the… Read more »

CHUMUS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE EATEN BY ASHKENAZIC JEWS ON PESACH.
You meant to say CHUMUS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE EATEN BY ASHKENAZIC JEWS ON PESACH.
I hope COL readers already know that, more concerned for TV viewers.

the recipe
March 29, 2009 4:30 pm

We want to clarify the chumus quote was mentioned inadvertently, as we wanted to show this recipe for the KSOHERfoodFEST, and was not meant to connect for Pesach. In the show it came out as a mistake, and was not meant to say that Chumus should be eaten on Peasch. CHUMUS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE EATEN BY ASHKENAZIC JEWS ON PESACH. The recipe was supposed to be for the Kosher food Fest, as one can see on the TV website, it is listed simply as a Kosher recipe, and not one for Passover. http://www.newschannel5.com/Global/story.asp?S=10075889 Overall the show… Read more »

Pesach
March 29, 2009 3:08 pm

While your peulah today is certainly commendable & admirable and many Mitzvohs will hopefully be inspired as a result, though the request for a certain dish was requested it should have been emphasized that it was not fit for Pesach. However, on the contrary, the Shliach seemed to imply it being appropriate as a Seder dish even suggesting the “Hummus” be eaten with Matzoh. I am really impressed by your efforts on Shlichus but think a mistake, surely unintentionally, might have been made. Hopefully, the viewers will have clarity. Best of luck on all your Peulos and may you go… Read more »

Boruch, before you attack, get the facts straight.
March 29, 2009 2:40 pm

Boruch, before you attack, get the facts straight. The Shliach says in the video that he is hosting a Chabd Seder at the Loews Hotel. Chabad is mentioned clairly in the vidoeo. On you comment about how the shliach talks about Pesach being like a Thanksgiving, you are right that Pesach commemerates the “Jews” going out of Egypt. But there is more to that then that. In the time of the Beis Hamidash, each family had thier own Seder with a Korban Pesach and would thank G- for all of the blessings that G-d has given to their family. That… Read more »

Boruch
March 29, 2009 2:14 pm

VERY weak excuse. The fact is that Rabbi Teichtel presented this dish as being one for Passover and repeated that a few times. Also, Passover is like a Jewish Thanksgiving???etc. Its become a new think among Shluchim to avoid the name of Chabad — “Jewish awareness center”…. in many places and to goyish our practices i.e. to present a major Jewish Holiday of the bible as being any kind of non Jewish equivalent. How about explaining it commemerates the “Jews” going out of Egypt. The Mitzva to eat Matza on that night, the fact that G-d chose us to be… Read more »

Rabbi Teichtel - listen to what you say on TV ???!!??
March 29, 2009 1:38 pm

On TV you say it is a wonderful dish for the seder. You say that it is eaten with Matzah.
Is this a Kiddush Hashem ???
No doubt that yu had a great program today at Kosherfest..
But who takes responsibility for the garbled message you gave on TV?
When Jews eat hummus on Pesach who is responsible!!!!

Rabbi Tiechtel responds to the critics of the show
March 29, 2009 12:45 pm

I want to thank everyone who commented on the TV clip and on the Chumus being Kitniyot. This show was not intended to be for Passover only, it was to promote the KOSHERfoodFEST that we had today in Nashville, and Mivtzah Kashrus. There were over 1000 people in attendance and it was a major Kiddush Lubavitch. The producer of the show asked for Chabad to prepare a Mediterranean Kosher dish, and proposed the salmon and Chumus. When they asked the question about the food it was presented in a way that it is was for Passover. The point was not… Read more »

Mistakes Happen - But Must Be Corrected
March 29, 2009 12:04 pm

Certainly the Shliach didn’t intentionally mean to mislead people about Kitniyos.

However, there are many stories about the Rebbe directing people to publicly rectify such mistakes to ensure that no one actually trangresses.

It is importnat that Rabbi Teichtel make public the fact the chumus is kitniyos and should not be eaten on Pesach.

A Wasted Opportunity
March 29, 2009 9:28 am

It’s always good to get your face on the media, but you could at least have had the real round matzah (from the boxes on the shelf) on the table instead of on the square substitutes.
Always think how to use your appearance to further the Rebbe’s campaigns

Chumus

?????????

where is the gefilte fish?
March 29, 2009 9:09 am

I think fish with chrain would have been a little bit more approapriate.

March 29, 2009 8:47 am

I agree with # 6.
Moshiach Now!

chabad
March 29, 2009 8:46 am

lets not forget that we are shluchim of the Rebbe, we should not publicize kitniyos for Pesach.

very nice
March 29, 2009 8:44 am

however not enough info on pesach ……

go nashville!!
March 29, 2009 7:51 am

Wow!!
March 29, 2009 7:14 am

This is such a tremendous Kiddush Hashem! What a great way to get people interested and involved in Pesach. I Hope the Kosher food fest goes great! Don’t listen to the critics on here, they are just jealous.

kiddush hashem
March 29, 2009 5:59 am

chabad is one of the main reasons the jewish nation lives!

A Kosher A happy Pesach
March 29, 2009 4:46 am

Very nice presentation.
Some comments:
1. Should of said that salmon is a kosher fish.
2. According to the Rebbe’s Horaot – when advertizing the mitzvah of lighting candles, there should be three (3) candles.
3. Choumus is Kitniyos (?). we at Chabad do not eat Kitniyos, and should not publicize it )unless we are making a Seded specificly for a Sephardic Community).

very well presented kiddush hashem
