1. The woman in this story sounds like the woman in the story who was ranting at a Chasiddic IDF officer for not serving in the IDF.

2. I am saddened by the fact that this young lad doesn’t own a pair of Tefillin

3. Shlomo Gerber (the Lubavitcher) shows an excellent example of Geon Yaakov, completely unwavering and unimpressed by the woman’s rants.

   I think the most important line is what he says at the end (partly cut off at the end of this clip):
   כל יהודי רוצה לעשות כל המצוות
   Echoing the Rambam at the end of hilchos geirushin (oft quoted by the Rebbe) that every Jew wants to fulfill the mitzvos, yet sometimes his yetzer harah prevents him.

   He also made an important point when he addressed the woman in a TV interview last night, that the true reason why she’s so disturbed is because she has a neshama that doesn’t give her comfort.

   Hopefully this will inspire more Yidden to put on tefillin, and those who oppose it ח”ו will do complete teshuva, thus ushering in the geula.

   As the Rambam writes:
   כבר הבטיחה תורה שסוף ישראל לעשות תשובה בסוף גלותן ומיד הן נגאלין

4. Typicel in the so called jewish state,chillonim worser then gojim. A non Jedwish understands and has more respect then a woman that has zero idea over Yiddiskeit. Probably she has even a Chritmas tree at home for Christmas and a kruxifix instad a mesusah

5. But her faulty logic it should be illegal for any adult shopkeeper to sell anything including candy or ice cream (cart vendor) to a minor. Stupid hateful idiot. She’s the “katin” as in ktaine daas.

6. Kol HaKavod to the Chabad yid. Just comes to show that if you look at every yid with love, then you don’t respond with hate. He was prepared with every answer with a smile without getting flustered.

7. What the Chabadniks are doing is a kidush Hashem!

8. The left are the party of civility.

9. im a cold hearted litvak and i dislike the missionary vibes of chabad including the yichi song, BUT this video highlights our need for chabad. they reach out to yiddin that no one else even knows exist.
   this shliach is a real tzadik and a gibor for keeping calm… its unbelivable that a lady in the so called jewish state speaks like a roman from 2000 years ago. Hashem yirachem

10. Surely a descendant of the original eirev rav.

11. So impressed at the Chabad guy’s composure!
    And that woman: what a nut job…..

12. Just thinking – if this lady’s son will be stuck somewhere in India, I’m wondering who does she think will come rescue him and care for him!!??

13. Yankel
    When I read what you wrote
    It becomes clear that your education was subpar.
    Isn’t it obvious that it’s too bad Yankeles
    Yeshiva didn’t do a better job at teaching him English.

14. Bail set a pair of tephilon for the kids

15. Any school that can’t agree to have a pair of tephilon for the kids to use can’t have a picture of the Rebbe no school hates religion

16. Nasty woman.

17. @Nowayjose,
    she’s not just nasty.
    she’s stupid, ignorant, a rashanta but more than anything a perfect product of zionism.
    Nebach, can you imagine? Her father, or grandfather- somewhere in the line not to long ago probably not only would wear tefillin, but a proper religious Jew/ess.
    What disturbed her so much that she had to the whole time repeat lo dibarti lecha ( i didn’t speak to you), it seems it was more her fear and hatred than “worry” and “concern”.

18. @Yashar,
    I know, he really did keep his cool.
    These chabad’kers have real hearts (i don’t agree with a lot they do but you can’t mach avek what they do good).
    I sat next to a Lubavitcher recently on the way back from Eretz Yisrael, and the same, he kept himself with such purity, humbleness and politeness!

19. This is nothing new. R’ Akiva himself said that before he learned Torah, when he was an am ho’oretz, he would have bitten a ben torah like a donkey (ie – a bite that breaks bones)
    תלמוד בבלי מסכת פסחים דף מט עמוד ב
    אמר רבי עקיבא כשהייתי עם הארץ אמרתי מי יתן לי תלמיד חכם ואנשכנו כחמור

    This unfortunate lady (she was probably born chiloni – her parents or grandparents left the fold) has a very natural hatred for Torah – true Jews. As do all the Left.

    Well done for the way he reacted – and we all have to daven for them;
    השיבנו אבינו לתורתך, וקרבנו מלכנו לעבודתיך
    we are not only davening that we should grow and shteig in our Avodas Hashem, we have to have the chilonim in mind too (and all the kids OTD and at risk), them and us, should ALL come closer to Hashem, we should ALL improve in our Torah, our Bein Odom l’Chavero, in the Mitzvos Bein Odom laMokom….

20. I am waiting to hear from the “regulars” that start foaming from their mouth whenever they see “chabad”.

    I wait to hear them howling at the moon about “Chabad propoganda”, and “inappropriate to leig tefillin in the streets”, and “messianics” etc…

    Because, such howling harmonizes well with the howling of these leftist haters, a symphony of hatred against fellow yidden.

21. @GotAGoodPoint,
    this has nothing to do with Rebi Akiva.
    It is shocking and disgraceful that you make such a comparison.
    We are talking her, not about an ignoramus who hates due to an inner jealousy which he hides as hatred.
    We are talking about a lowlife, trained from birth to hate the very essence of the yid that she bumped into, her leftist, terrorist loving warped beliefs all come back to the same twisted diabolical hatred her parents diligently instilled in her.
    The fact that she answered with such hatred when he was willing to make polite conversation shows you we are not talking about the regular “nebach apikores”. we are talking about someone with deep seated hatred.
