In honor of the Rebbe's 120th Birthday! Susbcribe to our Orthodox Jewish family vlog! Follows us on instagram thatjewishfamily and tiktok @thatjewishfamily
Been there several times… although I never met the Rebbe I miss him so much. When I was about 8 a classmate of mine was telling our class what he did over the weekend and he told us he waited in line to meet the Rebbe and they all got dollars from him.
I went as a non Jewish person last year. It was the most spiritual action I have ever experienced. Words fail me. It moved me in an amazing way. I still ponder the day.
This is eerily similar to how certain Muslims gather at the burial places of Saints like HZ Nizamuddin Auliya, Data Sahib, Moeenuddin Chisti. Same concept. These men lived 800 to 1000 years ago and Muslims in South Asia still visit to this day. We pray there and give money to the poor. Some orthadox Muslims think it's sinful but people go because it is centuries old practice.
I got a dollar from the rebbe when I was 3, and when I went to the ohel I felt like he knew me. Like he said the nefesh stays there I undetstood that when I stood there. I used to live in NJ so I went alot, now I live in South Carolina but atleast I can watch footage like this and remember the vibe there.
Thank you for showing this. I live near Ohel of Rabbi Eliyahu Yosef Rabinowitz Kever and wondered what people where doing there at different times of the day and night.
very nice video. This past Monday was a day at the Ohel I will never forget - davening Shacharit in the company of Chief Rabbi Lau, and by the Rebbe's grave with The Rabbi of the Western Wall Rabbi Rabinovitz.
Thank you very moving Thank you for sharing your eyes take us to our most holy site of the rebbe obm and Chaya mushka obm I have been to many holy sites in ysrael but never to our blessed tsedek 😊❤❤
I’m bit confused. Don’t Hasidic Jews shun TVs, computers, etc. How were you able to start a RU-vid channel? I have always been fascinated by Hasidism. Am dying to learn more. ❤
Having in mind the rebbe speaking to hashem is wrong it is exactly what the xtians do with jc. Davening at the rebbes ohel to hashem is fine but there is not person in the middle who acts as a "lawyer" and delivers our message to hashem this is not a Jewish idea the rebbe was great and did mamy great things but to daven to him to talk to hashem is wrong.
You can pray to G-d based on the merit of the Rebbi lifes work but not to the Rebbi for him to intercede on your request. This is absolutely wrong and against Torah. You are no different to what is practiced in Roman Catholicism by praying to a saint.
That's necromancy... Our Creator told us not to do that. The Tanakh says the "dead know not ANYTHING", and "There is no knowledge in the grave". The soul is not immortal, when we die we're totally dead until the resurrection at the end of the age. Talmud and kabbalah add extra things to the words of our Creator and often conflict with Torah. Watching how the culture is based more on super complicated traditions of men, than the simple straightforward Torah, boggles my mind. Love your channel tho, y'all are cute!
Maimonides wrote about the soul, which will be joined to the body again at the resurrection. He clarified the principles of Jewish belief. Look him up.
Praying at a graves of a gadol is in the chumash clear as day. Go look up the story of the meraglim and read the Rashi. One goes to gis Rebbe , the other goes to daven at the grave of gedolim. How you pray is always a question but there is nobody alive that can argue against this is the pshat of the chumish.
I respect your views and thank you for sharing, but it certainly does not make sense in a monotheistic religion to have an intermediary between you and God. We are all equals in front of God and no person who is simply a scholar of a religion (a rabbi) can intervene on your behalf, to think that would be to attribute God-like qualities to them. I also don't understand why it is Rabbis who get to choose who gets to be a Jew and who does not, that should be between an individual and God. I think that a lot of modern day Judaism has strayed far from the torah unfortunately. Furthermore, to write a letter to someone who is deceased also seems to be an innovation that is not included in the Torah. What logical purpose could this serve? I mean all of this respectfully as food for thought.
Well, Christians view Jesus, our rabbi, rebbe, as our advocate with God...now, I understand where it comes from.... I like that someone is praying, supporting us with God. Yes, we could do it ourselves to a point, but its nice to have support! When, we're praying for something isn't it nice when someone else includes us in their prayers!?... isn't it like an extended version of it?
@Elchanan I was just explaining how Christian people view Jesus, and this video explains how that part came to be...it also was in reference to the person's comment about needing an intermediary. I was showing similarities. I'm fully aware that Jesus part of Christianity not Judaism.
《Going to the Rebbe's grave is like going to the greatest lawyer who will plea to G.od for us》 as much as I recognize and respect the Loubavicher Rebbe's wisdom in Torah and Mitsvot, I have to say that he is far from being the greatest and he is not even among the Gedolim. He himself admitted that there are much more knowledgeable rabbis than him in the world, who were in a much better position to be Moshiah than him and yet they have never been worshiped this way. Therefore, I think that the way you guys worship him is just not justified and even in the event that he was the greatest, this is wrong as we are not allowed to worship a man like this. Also, many Gedolim have said that they prefer for the women not to come to their grave.
Of course it is! People write prayers and insert them into the cracks of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, the holiest place for Jews. And at the tombs of holy rabbis all over Israel. How can you say it's not a Jewish custom?
