    Can’t tell – are they Lubavitchers or yeshivish? Anyway this video shows a better side of our life than the sheitel video does.

    trust me they are not lakewood material. lakewood guys do not know what a smile is, nor would they ever do something without the borsalino on their heads.

    We did this once on I-70 once when the highway was closed for 6 hours due to an accident. One of the guys driving with us was doing cartwheels on the highway too!

    they are Chabad Bochrim learning in Detroit, on their way to Crown Heights, dancing to whatever music is on in their car. as it happens to be the music on at time this vid was recorded was the same sone that the Brestlevers use when they dance i the street as well.
    Happy Chanukah

    I don’t think Lakewooders would act this way (maybe only on Purim) They look Lubavitch or Breslav to me.

    they are lubavitch bochurim & in the actual news report (its on wpxi.com ), its one minute, where the reporter begings by saying that she’s “been covering weather stories for 20 years now and never have I seen what we are about to show ya’… ”

    HUGE Kiddush Hashem !! (‘aidel’ dancing, too…. 🙂

    I got no problem with any of this.

    Given what else chariedi jews have been in the news about of late, I will take this any day.

    Wonderful. It made me laugh. News never makes me laugh. Those young men are wonderful. How great to see “happy” young people. Wish I had been there I would have danced too.

    they are good chabad Lubavitcher bochurim doing what their rebbe wants by going on mivtzoim and doing the right thing and even while in traffic still doing the right thing

    The vitriol that Jews have for one another is sad and depressing. Why is it that some people feel the need to make negative and disparaging comments about simple stories with other yidden. So the guys dancing were Lubavitchers. big deal. And as a Lubavitcher i will say, of course they could have been Lakewood or anyone else, or maybe a Lakewood guy wouldn’t dance on the highway, that doesn’t mean the Lubavitcher is better!!!

    Luv it!
    Great way to spend a couple minutes of 3 hrs. being stuck in traffic. Knowing these Chabad Detroit Bochurim, they most likely spent the remainder of the long hours discussing divrei Torah.
    Keep up the good work & thanks for the good laugh!

    who cares what they are? in himmel i dont think they discriminate. they are shomrei torah and mitzvois? that’s all that matters. After everything is said and done( and all the putdowns about Lubavitch) we ( including myself) can learn and emulate them for all the mesiras nefesh these tie ere yidden go through to spread the light of the toirah around the world.
    And even all the Lubavitch bashers have to admit,when we go out of town it sure feels good to see a friendly heimishe chabad yid in a all goyishe town or city. At least I do.
    If we only had the simchas ha chaim and the genuine love and achdus that Lubavitch h for each yid, i wonder if Moshiach wouldnt have come already.
    All of us have our tafkid in life ayleh ve ayleh divrei elokim chaim.

    Part 1

    Twas the night of the Geulah, — And in every single Shtiebel
    Sounds of Torah could be heard — Coming from every kind of Yeedel.
    This one in English, — Some in Hebrew, some in Yiddish.
    Some saying P’shat — And some saying a Chiddish.
    And up in Shamayim–The Aibishter decreed:
    “The time has come — For My children to be freed.
    “Rouse the Moshiach — From his heavenly berth.
    Have him get in his chariot, — And head down to earth.

    “The Moshiach got dressed — And with a heart full of glee,
    Went down to earth and entered — the first Shtiebel he did see.
    “I am the Moshiach! — Hashem has heard your plea!
    Your Geulah has come! — It’s time to go free!
    “They all stopped their learning; — This was quite a surprise.
    And they look at him carefully, — With piercing sharp eyes
    “He’s not the Moshiach!” — Said one with a grin,
    “Just look at his hat, — At the pinches and brim!”
    “That’s right!” cried another — With a grimace and frown,
    “Whoever heard of Moshiach, — With a brim that’s turned down?”

    “Well,” thought Moshiach, — “If this is the rule,
    I’ll turn my brim up — Before I go to the next shul.”
    So he walked right on over — To the next shul in town.
    Sure to be accepted, — Since his brim was no longer down.
    “I’m, the Moshiach!” he cried, — As he began to enter
    But the Jews wanted to know first — If he was Left Right or Center
    “Your clothes are so black!” — They cried out in fright.
    “You can’t be Moshiach–You’re much too far right!”
    “If you want to be Moshiach, — You must be properly outfitted.
    “So they replaced his black hat — With a Kippah that was knitted.

    Wearing his new Kippah, — Moshiach went out and said:
    “No difference to me — What I wear on my head.
    “So he went to the next shul, — For his mission was dear.
    But he was getting frustrated — With the Yidden down hear.
    “I’m the Moshiach!” he cried, — And they all stopped to stare,
    And a complete eerie stillness — Filled up the air.
    “You’re the Moshiach?! — Just imagine that!
    Whoever heard of Moshiach — Without a black hat?”
    “But I do have a hat!” — The Moshiach then said.
    So he pulled it right out — And plunked it down on his head.
    Then the shul started laughing, — And one said ” Where’s your kop?
    You can’t have Moshiach — With a brim that’s turned up!
    If you want to be Moshiach — And be accepted in this town,
    “Put some pinches in your hat — And turn that brim down!”

    Moshiach walked out and said: — “I guess my time hasn’t come.
    I’ll just return — To where I came from.
    “So he went to his chariot, — But as he began to enter,
    All sorts of Jews appeared — From the Left, Right, and Center.
    “Please wait – do not leave. — It’s all their fault!” they said,
    And they pointed to each other — And to what was on each other’s head.

    Moshiach just looked sad — And said, ” You don’t understand.”
    And then started up his chariot — To get out of this land.
    “Yes, it’s very wonderful — That you all learn Torah,
    But you seem to have forgotten — A crucial part of our Mesorah.
    “What does he mean?” — “What’s he talking about?”
    And they all looked bewildered, — And they all began to shout.

    Moshiach looked back and answered, — “The first place to start,
    Is to shut up your mouths — And open your hearts.
    “To each of you, certain Yidden — Seem too Frum or too Frei,
    But all Yidden are beloved — in the Aibishter’s eye.”
    And on his way up he shouted: — ” If you want me to come,
    Try working a little harder — On some Ahavat Chinam!”
