Looking good

scary deal
August 29, 2015 10:37 pm

Someone should have mentioned to the neture karat that if they’re for the deal then they should expect more terrorist attacks

more numbers to call
August 28, 2015 1:54 pm

Hakeem Jeffries 202-225-5936

Do even one small thing-

Hakeem Jeffries 202-225-5936

Nydia Velazquez 202-225-2361

It only took 15 minutes of my time to call them as well Gilibrand and Clark (numbers listed in previous comment)

SHOLOM, SHOLOM, and more SHOLOM.

One thing is for sure, UNITED we stand, DIVIDED, we fall.

Those who understand what I am saying, and have some input, bring together all the parties that may have positive results.

And PLEASE, my intent is for POSITIVE, and not to open up a back and forth for more machlokes, chas v’sholom.

Gut Shabbos.

RE comment # 24I second the motion. - Who orgenized this?
August 28, 2015 9:36 am

Does anyone think that this crowd NEBACH, would impress any public official, and their staff??

More harm than good was accomplished.

I was told heard through the Grapevine, that a group of “The Young Leadership” put together the “Chasidishe Melave Malka – Rally.

Obviously, there are fewer the 100 young people in Crown Heights.

Sad, very sad……

Who organized this?
August 28, 2015 7:24 am

Needed more planning
More publicity
More advertising and hype
Looks a little nebach
But a good idea and worthwhile too

Where were YOU??
August 27, 2015 10:25 pm

where were the thousands of crown heightsers??? A real shame!

Breaking: N.Y. Congresswoman Carolyn Malone came out against Iran deal

Nice idea, but without advertising, what’s the point – better to call it a Press Conference rather than a rally – lends more legitimacy to the event.
BUT even more important is mentioning the Rebbe’s words that true peace in the Middle East and the World must originate with a firm Shleimus HaAretz and emphasis on the Sheva Mitvos.

Devora Halberstam is the one person who said what was most important. Let’s not make this a Jewish or Israeli problem that is just a distraction. It is a problem for our entire country and the entire world. That’s what all politicians and citizens need to hear.

PUSTE MEI-SES, (A BIG ZERO).
August 27, 2015 8:40 am

Did I miss something? Not one word of action?

Talk, talk, talk, and more talk….

It sounded like a Political Rally….

NOT ONE WORD ACTION!!!!

How about again encouraging the people, to continue reaching out, and calling our senator and congress representatives, keeping the pressure on

I had no idea about this!!!
August 27, 2015 1:04 am

Wish I knew about it

where are the tzfatm
August 27, 2015 12:41 am

for one time we couldve use them to dance and sing yechi with flag around the NK that would push them away

where are all the women from kingston that wouldve chase them away to !

Devorah Halberstam keep it up!

nuclear karta
August 26, 2015 11:56 pm

Do we have to show these misguided souls and their pitiful banners. ugh.

Broken heart, twice.
August 26, 2015 11:50 pm

I came down Kingston Ave. and saw those Neturei Karte Nazis, and my heart fell.

I looked at the crowd attending the rally, and my heart fell even further.

What’s up with us??? Doesn’t anyone care???

Out of close to four thousand families 250 people show up!!!!
The Neturei Nazis had as much of a crowd as the event.

NO SPONSORS?????
August 26, 2015 11:43 pm

Why was there no showing fro: JCRC, APAC, Flatbush PAC.

All of the above organizations sponsored Congressman Jeffries event.

I smell a rat.

Congratulations, Jesse, Dov and David. But same on…
August 26, 2015 11:37 pm

Congratulations, Jesse, Dov and David.

BUT SHAME ON US!!!

No advertising?? Are you kidding??

Every home received a letter and postcard. Thousands of text messages Face book, etc., etc.

And a measly 200 people show up. Of which 100 happened to come out of the subway.

A real busha !!!

Never again??
August 26, 2015 11:03 pm

Most of the Jewish world stood silent as 6 million perished …. And we still have survivors…. If no one cares today what will be when they are all gone.

I glanced with interest at the opposition on the other side of Kingston protesting our protest against Iran nuclear expansion. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a rally in favor of nuclear disaster until now. It’s one thing to hate and abuse your Jewish neighbors for no reason, that kind of irrationality we are used to. It’s another to protest in favor of being nuked by a sworn enemy of the US. Sad… and yet so comical! Do they even know what they are protesting on behalf of, other than that it is something the Jewish community is opposing?.. Only… Read more »

I enjoyed the rally very much
August 26, 2015 10:24 pm

I specially enjoyed hearing Senator Jesse Hamiltons words, the emcee David Greenfield and Dov Hikind. But my favorite was Devorah Halbershtam! She was terrific. Would be nice to post videos. Great speeches!

For all those asking why this event wasn’t better advertised. I hope you all at least made 1 call to each of the following. 1) Yvette Clarke 202-225-6231. 2) Kirsten Gillibrand 202-224-4451 and stay tuned for better organized events.

Surprised
August 26, 2015 10:18 pm

Surprised at COL that the ‘nature karta’ got 11 pictures in this article. That’s exactly what their looking for ; attention. They should get zero attention, their plight is ridiculous and their so rude and disrespectful!

There was zero advertizing
August 26, 2015 9:55 pm

This event was so badly publicized. No-one knew about it. Why wasn’t this advertised all over the place?

advertisement wasn't good
August 26, 2015 9:53 pm

With such a large community we should have had a few thousand people.
The speakers spoke well. hashem yerachem. We need to be more involved keep calling the elected officials.

WHERE WERE YOU???!!!
August 26, 2015 9:45 pm

where was every person in this community???? we post wonderful words on facebook, share videos and pictures on tisha b’av but when our brothers and sisters and OUR OWN LIVES and our childrens world is at stake we show up

We miss you kuti rapp!!
August 26, 2015 9:28 pm

At events like these your absence is keenly felt. You were always at the front lines organizing protests in Manhattan, in Washington or in 770–wherever, whenever and whatever was needed.

Video of the speeches
August 26, 2015 9:09 pm

Please post

August 26, 2015 9:06 pm

Everyone spoke so well. Can someone please post phone numbers for senators we should call? TY
