From As Far Away As China And Australia Traveled Throngs Of Jews To Honor And Remember Late Spiritual Leader
They came from all over the world to remember a religious leader.
On Wednesday night tens of thousands of Jews made a spiritual journey to Queens.
They made the trip to mark the 15th anniversary of the death Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
The observance started at sundown and before it is over massive crowds will enter the holy place to be inspired by the memory of a spiritual leader they respected like no other.
Faithful and patient, the masses journeyed to Cambria Heights from near and far, inspired by the holiness of the final resting place of their rebbe.
"It's inspirational. It's dynamic. You feel the energy of the rebbe there and it just feels amazing," said Esti Duchman of Miami Beach, Fla.
The wait times lasted up to four hours as groups of 80 filed in to a small space to feel close to the late Schneerson.Once inside each visitor received two minutes to pray and ponder. Some read and then shred notes for God's blessing at the rebbe's headstone.
"We believe this rabbi is special in our generation. He is the greatest one," said Henry Klein of Sao Paolo, Brazil.
Remembered as scholarly and visionary, Schneerson led the Chabad Lubavitch movement for more than 40 years, leaving behind an international network of rabbinical emissaries in 74 countries.
And here you find proof of the global reach of the rebbe's work. Many of these visitors traveled long distances to be here, some from as far away as China and Australia.
"More and more people are inspired by his life and what he has taught," said Rabbi Motti Seligson of chabad.com.
"His message continues to resonate because it is a living message, a message of reaching out to all Jews, all people," said Yosef Kantor of Bangkok, Thailand.
Organizers said this custom is growing every year, making it necessary for greater security and extra food and lodging for everyone coming in from out of town

“Goyim (gentiles) were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world – only to serve the People of Israel. Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat."
- Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, fmr HEAD Sephardic Rabbi of Israel!

The Jewish understanding of the messianic era involves an age of universal peace where everyone will recognize G-d and even animals will not attack each other anymore (many sources hold this to be literal). I am pretty sure that for Christians the "return" of j involves everyone accepting him as a deity or the messiah or both, and since Jews are the people who most stubbornly resisted all their attempts at conversions throughout history, then it follows that if we reject him we'll all be killed

Yep rabbi Schneerson taught that all non-Jews were to be considered a separate and inferior biological spcies to Jews. In other words he was ideologically identical to Hitler.

This is the same rabbi that said that all gentiles (non-jews) are both biologically and spiritually minor to jews. In a way the same ideas that Hitler had regarding the so called non aryans and the aryans.

Cool man, don't care. Find someone who cares, like your fellow Jewish ethnic supremacist, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson.

@OrthodoxDarwinist By believing that one nation will get killed just because of their race, is a races believe.
I see on ur youtube account what u are very busy with, waste of ur time u will end up going to the same place where most of the non zionist jews are gonna end up.
Iran is weak as shit, they have to wait another 40 years to get the strength of Israel. Israel saved their ass from them getting nuked by saddam husien. So don't get so excited.

1. First of all Christians don't believe that; secondly if they even did it's irrelevant since it has nothing to do with the topic and hence you're just using a scapegoat, which is rather pathetic.
2. What the Muslims think is again irrelevant, second scapegoat you've used.
3. The fact that you are trying to cover up for the sickeningly racist remarks made by M. M. Schneerson shows that you yourself must similarly be a racist scumbag.
