What a shame
What a wasted opportunity
No Halachic input to contradict those Rabbonim who have published learned Halachic tomes like Rav Wosner et al
The person that put up the Eruv did not put it up for the Chabad community, and you dont have to use it, end of story
Crown Heights cannot have an eruv because it is a reshus harabim. Is Crown Heights considered like a separate city in determining this or is the whole NYC considered one city? If Crown Heights is considered like a separate city, how far is the techum Shabbos for Crown Heights? Can one walk to Manhattan or Queens or even Boro Park?
You are wrong, this has nothing to do with opinions and perspectives, and not even with different groups of people lliving in Crown heights. What is fact remains fact – Crown Heights has a Beis Din. Jews from all shuls/groups in Crown Heights got to vote for them. And that is why now, whether you like it or not, you have to listen to them and their psak. Since ALL 3 MEMBERS OF THE BEIS DIN plus many other rabbis of the community agreed that there is no kosher eruv, Crown heights has no kosher eruv. Sorry to pop your… Read more »
You are simply factually wrong. Being Chabad is not a matter of how you feel on a particular day. It’s about your adherence to minhag Chabad and to the hora’os of the Rebbe, and showing respect to the rabbonim of the community. When all rabbonim of the community state unanimously that the eruv is not kosher to use, then by using it you are defying the rabbonim of the community. Ergo, you can no longer be counted as a member of the community. You can still be a Jew who follows a different rav (BTW do you actually follow this… Read more »
That was a strong statement. Not a lubavitch statement. To say, call a spade a spade, you’re not a chossid, is not the ahavas yisroel that is so important to a cgis did. Sometimes, or often, we are great at doing the right thing, and forget about Ahavas Yisroel. Who are you, someone who clearly isn’t perfect (along with everyone else, as we are all not perfect) to judge? That is not to say you should use the eiruv, and even to stop trying to help others do so, but I don’t think your statement was proper, nor helpful, but… Read more »
I would like to say that it’s not kosher for US. That’s what my kids say about the food that others eat that we can’t have. I don’t think we should discount the Jew who use it, but make a diffrentiation between Chabad and not. It might be Kosher for them, but not for us. We are Chabad and hold differently on many things, this just one of them.
enough is enough, everyone knows by know there is a eruv up in Crown Heights, and it is not Kosher
Elephant in the room is that there is no “chabad” or “crown heights community” today. There are many people’s different versions of each of those. Stop. Take a deep breath. Understand that whatever is coursing through your mind right now in response to what I just wrote, is YOUR perspective – your perspective on what the rebbe might say today, on who is right, who represents daas torah for you, etc. And you can be a rov or mashapia, but you’re not the rebbe and you don’t have the authority to decide what “chabad’s” position is or the rebbe’s position… Read more »
The eruv isn’t considered an eruv so what does it matter if it’s up this week
Bottom line here, if you are a Chabad Chossid, you can not use this Eiruv. It has no chabad haskama, and every single Chabad rav has said it’s not possible to build an Eiruv here. I feel as though the terms we have been branding about jokingly for too many years now, mean something else. There is no Chabad lite. There is Chabad, and then something else. If you are the something else, you must acnoledge that. Which is fine!! This community shared its borders with non Chabad before, and we can do it again, with open and loving arms.… Read more »
not listening to a psak when they go to a din toiro or going to secular court because they dont like the ruling of Rabbis is worse then using an eiruv that is not according to all opinions.
To #6: Spot on! “We love you, but we know where you stand”. Sums up how Lubavitch is supposed to think. The ropes of Golus are shaking, and we have to hang on.
In two words in simple language

Throughout Jewish history, espcially modern Jewish history, people find new reasons to get heterim, loopholes, to make our lives easier. Not always is life meant to be “easy”, in America in 2016 there are enough incredible things to celebrate that make our lives “easy”, as frumme Yidden. But the most important thing is that when all of the Rabbonim, from “both sides” of the Lubavitch aisle come together to say something is not Kosher for us, (for us! not for others) then we must listen. There is not one singe Chabad Lubavitch Rav, from a local melamed in Yeshiva to… Read more »
Can someone please post if the eruv is up this week?
For a while I thought he was old fashioned and out of touch, but the more I got to know him the more I realize how wise he is and also how on the ball.
חסר תרגום בספרדית,יש בשכונה תושבים דוברי. ספרדית
מדרום אמריקה, אם אפשר לתרגם גם להם. אשרנו מה טוב חלקנו
שזכינו לרבי כזה. ששומר עלינו מכל צרה, ודואג לנו. בכל יום ויום
מימות השנה.ובמיוחד ביום השבת הקדוש ויום הכיפורים.
שבת שלום ומבורך בלי עירוב.
I do not live in Crown Heights but watching this unfold, I simply see this as a choice on whether to uphold the integrity of our holy Torah or not. If we are bending rules to enhance Yiddishkeit then it may be something to talk about. Yet when all the evidence is to the contrary I find it hard to see how going against the Rabbonim in this case will not lead down a slippery slope. We must remember that we are not following Yiddishkeit for our personal interests but for the Eibershter and therefore we must ask ourselves if… Read more »
Rabbi Heller is a smart man! Everything he does is lshaim shomaim. Although he seems old fashioned he is quite open minded and far seeing. He only wants the good of the community. He will always stand up for what’s right. We are lucky to have him looking out for us.
