WOW. An entire statidium FULL with silent people listening to Mussar. Mi K’amcha Yisrael!!
Watching it, its major!
look good half empty
is there any way to watch/listen on a cell phone?
are there any cut away shots thar do not feature bored, sleeping or talking people?
putting on a turban and reading soemone else’s notes does not a rebbe make.
Who is the guy singing right now?
an 23 b4 the holydays you are saying that? its rediculous at any time but may god have mercy on you
vin thanks so so so much for posting it. It was amazing. I was unfortunetly unable to go but it was great seeing it here. May Amnon Yitzchak shteig hecher and hecher with doing such wonderful work
is there any way of listening to the shiur now that it isnt live
To EB; the turban he wears is because his tradition. I don’t know y u got a problem with him! Maybe because he is saying some things that’s battering u….
I was there and it was beautiful. He is an incredible JEW.
he is nothing but raises money for himself he lives in a palace we have our own manhigim every 5 words he raises money for himself
agreed. all you had to do was take one look at his sensationalized, doom & gloom, evangelical christian style posters, to know that this thing stinks from a mile away. america drowning? gog umugog?? snake salesman.
I was there, what a Kiddush Hashem, just the fact of seeing Jews from all walks of life, seating together next to each other in unity, listening to Mussar and dancing with Joy was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
according to my estimation there were about 5000-8000 people, not more.
He promoted his goal for the coming year to make 1,000,000 Baalei Teshuvas, by having a million frum Jews each make 1 baal teshuva.
The speech was very uplifting as well as the music.
If u want to know what is pshat in “litzane achas doche meah tochachos” read the previos posts let’s say it was half full and he is making some money there were still tousands o people who came to hear divray torah and mussar – so stop looking
the glass half empty a take off your black sunglasses
to moshe,
I have no problem with his turban ( do I detect a chip on your shoulder?) It’s not about him being a sefardi. As a matter of fact, I think he’s doing a diservice to the sefardi community. From the portion of the event that i watched, I saw a man, sitting alone on a stage and READING his entire ( not particulary deep ) presentation. do you want to go to bat for this man as being representitive of thousands years of wisdom and scholarship? really!? Other than his groupies from queens ( nice kids, doesn’t take much to impress) the body language and expressions of everyone else told volumes.
HE SHOULD LEARN FROM CHABAD THAT THE WAY TO BE M’KAREV YIDDIN IS THROUGH LOVE NOT BY “BRIMSTONE & FIRE”. EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE MAY COME UP & CUT THEIR HAIR OR REMOVE THEIR EARINGS ETC. UNFORTUNATELY IT DOES NOT LAST . AS SOON AS THE FEAR WEARS OFF IT’S BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE BEFORE. THE CHABAD WAY IS THROUGH LOVE & SHOWING THE BEAUTY OF TORAH. BY DOING MITZVOS “MITZVAH GORRERES MITZVAH” THEN EVEN THOUGH IT MAY TAKE TIME IT EVENTUALLY CHANGES PEOPLE TO STAY IN THE WAY OF TOHAH & MITZVOS
i heard whats going to hapen the next 2 years
To all those that were so inspired by this event,
maybe open up a Musar sefer yourself and try to connect with the words of the sages. This should be inspiring.
To join 5,000 or more PPL and be moved, WOW! if you’d go to Madison Square Graden to the Ringling Bros. on Chol Hamoed with just Jews, This would also be a beautiful and moving event.
What touches the sol is a real connection to the Sifrei Mussar. if your are then inspird that is true inspiration.
Not that I am saying anything against the Rabbi,
he may be doing wonderfull acts. But lets be clear of what should inspire us and what is a nice gathering.
Nu, Lemaseh. What did he say? Any good predictions?
every event by SHofar is being videotaped by tens of cameres.
I cant take to sit hours & being photoed every step, & then they showing it to the public.
not nice
To the Louie
10:45,
We can all read without caps, stop screaming!
BTW, Chabad only makes Lubabs, they don’t care if they want to keep torah & mitzvos. That is a side issue. They won’t work on anyone if he told them I’ll become frum, just not lubab.
Moish, well said:
Thats the hard part.
how about going to a mussar sermon where there are only 20-30 people and be inspired.
I guess thats not as much excitment.
A gut Gebenched Yur to all klal Yisroel.
he is a sefardy and a bal tshuva nothing wrong but not for me. i need a rebbe thats not a bal tsuhva and a rebbe a ashkanazi. i dont zindig and i dont have to do tshuva.
To anon. 11:20
Do you have any idea how many people who go to Aish, Or Samach etc. have started their journey at Chabad?
rabbi amnon’s purpose is to send people to sifrei mussar because if he does not tell them and you are not telling them how are they going to get there generally all the wonderful org. start with dedicated individuals but then they realize it takes money to make tapes and cds and it takes manpower to distribute them heh try it yourself and ill send you a donatio
because they didnt get ENOUGH attention from the chabad shluchim? but anyhow, do you really think that the lubavitcher rebbe ztl is upset that they started by chabad and are still frum and moved elsewhere? if you think the answer is YES, you dont know who this holy man was.
what a great actor!!!!
i agree this is one big money machine and look at the people not bad entertainment for the 1st day of selichos.
who else do you know in the jewish world today who can get 18,000 tidden in a stadium to hear torah???
I actualy agree with the above “complainers”! Although he did say alot of Mamarey Chazal – I did not go with his acting. 1) And he looks like he is “full of it”. 2) Any large Rebbe’sha Yom Tov Tisch has the same amout of people, all crowded together – as apposed to spraed out comfortable seats, which makes it look bigger. 3) There is no reason to “scorn” in public the Chilonim – this is NOT the DERECH of a true Gadol. 4) Amnon Yitzchok is currently suing in Israeli Court Horav Moshe Landa – the Rav of Bnei Brak, because he doesn’t like the way Rav Landa’s Bais Din Passkined a Din Torah not in his favor….! Not only is he making a mockery of rabonim he is also..calling the Dayan / Rav to Court….!!! I Defenetly DO NOT go for this man.
First off, he is not suuin anyone, before swallowing the lies of the secular media, why don’t you first do some research online regarding the lawsuit to see exactly who is suuing whom
And second, before criticizing and knocking a man of Rav Amnon’s stature before, who has the support of Gedolei Yisrael from Rav Ovadia to Rav Pam zt’l, why don’t you first thoroguhly research who he is and what he is about on his website. Watch a few videos and read up, then you can run your mouth if you wish about such a great man with such great accomplishments. My advice: tread carefully. Shana Tova!
Acting? R.Amenon Yitzchaq spends tremendous amounts of time almost every night reaching the people that Chabad, et al were NOT ABLE TO TOUCH. “Looks” like he’s full of it? What in the world does that subjective comment mean? Someone could say the same of you! Those chilonim that you claim R.A.Y. scorns come to him in DROVES, so maybe YOU are wrong, but you don’t mention a specific action of the rav’s, so it’s hard to know what you mean. Your 4th “point” is a NICE red herring, if R.A.Y. is suing R. Moshe Landau, there must be something wrong w/R.A.Y. You are suggesting that it is halakhically impossible for someone to invite a rav to a secular court, but is that true?
Doesn’t rejecting R. Amenon Yizchaq because he’s not Ashkenazi & he’s a ba’al teshuva mean that you would reject Iraqi-born Avraham Avinu, the son of idol-selling Terach? If HaShem chooses mashiach to be Sefaradi or Yemenite & a ba’al teshuva, does that mean that HaShem made a mistake in your book???
Sifrei Mussar are only BOOKS! Torath Chaiym means learning from a LIVING talmidh Chakhom! If you don’t understand something in a SEFER, you can become stuck, but w/a living rav, you can ASK HIM!
Hey, Khomeini used TAPES to spread his message, does that mean he was wrong? You are invalidating his approach because of his MEDIA/style instead of his content. Is anything of what you call doom & gloom NOT FROM CHAZAL??? When you say that you are de facto criticizing CHAZAL! As far as posters being evangelical-like, SO WHAT! It didn’t stop YOU from watching him! Last time I checked, Gog uMegog is from NAVI, why in the world would that stink to you??? Do you think that the nevi-im were selling, chas weShalom, SNAKE OIL??? As far as America drowning, do you REALLY think that American Jewry is in good shape?
i cannot for the life of me understand the root of all this hate. Anything that brings people closer to hashem wether its uman or amnon is good
do kiruv not scaring people with hell etc….
and of course do not badmouth other gedolim !
A chareidi version of Billy Graham.
If people are stupid enough to take this ham seriously, then they get what they deserve.
Mort,
You sound like the late Tommy Lapid.
Your ridiculous comments and analogy, that clearly show your complete ignorance, it’s hard to take you seriously.
Aoyy riboni she’ll olam now I see why u have not brought mosiech yet were all one nation were like a family look at these comments it brings me to tears all you yidin that think ur better who cares wat kinda cloths u wear wat backround your from where u live WERE all h”b children and we shud not act like I feel I’m better I don’t care If u live in alaska to lakewood we are one and till all u selfish ppl don’t understand that we have a biggg issue now before r”h, h”b should give you the power to look past the nothingnis in the world and go straight to the neshama I wish u all a great year!
To all of you writing things that you don’t know let me get the facts straight. This event was not to make money. they were not even planing on breaking even. yet it was still worth it to be mekadish shem shomayim b’rabim and to be machzor b’tshuva ourselfs and our brothers.Many people were up all night for many days just to make this happen.I was in the ravs house in bnei brak it is NOT a palace not even close. so do some more research before you start typing and maybe make a resolution to try and thing positive about other people.
It was a very beautiful event. i was there, and there was a very warm feeling. From the ‘ballagan’ of getting the tickets (if you didn’t have time to have it mailed) to davening Maariv. There was a very warm feeling. It was a great feeling of Ahavas Yisroel. Knowing so many people of back grounds etc. were there; all taking part and with a positive feeling. May we all be zoche to what the rav said towards the end that everyone shodul accept to make a baal teshuva this year – according to what he said in teh begining – that the Avos were like partners – not just workers for Hash-m, becasue tehy brought peopl under the shechina. If so, how much more, people who are already Yidden, to bring them back to Hash-m. Shal-m!!!
