"The 4,500 #Jewish #teenagers from all over the world—from #Australia to #Slovakia to #Singapore to #Brazil to France to #LosAngeles—who had come to #Brooklyn, #NY, for a weekend of inspiration and learning through the #Chabad movement, intended to return home on Sunday. A #blizzard that paralyzed the city, shutting airports and leading officials to ban cars from the streets, required a sudden change in plans.

Instead, young people who had never seen snow before had friendly snowball fights outside 770 Eastern Parkway, world headquarters of the #ChabadLubavitch movement, and competed in teams to see who could shovel the most snow off #CrownHeights sidewalks and crosswalks on Monday."

What in the world 👀

"A man drove a Honda Accord sedan “intentionally and repeatedly” into an entryway of the #ChabadLubavitch world headquarters in #Brooklyn Wednesday night, #NewYorkCity Mayor #ZohranMamdani confirmed.

The NYPD responded to an 8:46 911 call on Wednesday at 770 Eastern Parkway in #CrownHeights, the home and center of leadership of the Lubavitcher #Rebbe, #Rabbi #MenachemMendelSchneerson, now a major spiritual, symbolic and organizational hub for #Chabad. No persons were injured in the incident, captured on video, and police took the driver into custody.

“We’re grateful to the Almighty that no one was hurt,” said Rabbi Motti Seligson, a spokesman for Chabad, adding that damage initially appeared limited."

"#Chabad-#Lubavitch is a #Jewish #religious movement founded more than 250 years ago. Today, it is one of the largest Jewish outreach networks in the world, with thousands of community centers operating globally. These centers serve #Jews of all backgrounds, particularly those who are unaffiliated, traveling, or in need of support.

Chabad emissaries host #Shabbat dinners, teach #Torah, help families affix #mezuzot to their homes, organize public #Hanukkah celebrations, visit hospitals, and provide guidance to Jews who may be isolated or facing personal crises. Their mission is religious and communal. They do not attempt to convert non-Jews. They do not lobby governments, organize protests, or engage in political activism.

Despite this, Chabad Jews have increasingly been labeled as “#Nazis,” “#genocidal,” or “#racist” in posters, protests, and online campaigns, including outside Chabad’s headquarters in #CrownHeights. This rhetoric is not harmless."
