Commercialization of the Revolution, Part II - Lessons from the Evangelicals

As we ponder ways to spread the light of Rebbe, the Revolution and the RRRR, it may be instructive to look at some false, yet successful, competitors.

Imagine the Possibilities...

"But what is it about the evangelical "product" that makes it so desirable? Any number of scholars have noted that, in recent years, it has been the churches that demand the most of people -- tithing, bowing to firm doctrines, observing strict rules of conduct -- that have grown the fastest. There seems to be something in our nature that requires from religion not just feel-good spirituality but strong moral direction. We are willing to make sacrifices to live by the dictates of a religiously grounded truth.
Mr. Twitchell manages to reduce this profound idea to the dictates of basic consumer theory. Sacrifice, he says -- not least, tithing -- signifies value. The more you sacrifice, the more you visibly value the product for which you are giving something up, and the more you show other people that you value it, too. "Why do true believers sometimes puncture themselves, walk on their knees until they bleed, fast until they are skeletal or join a monastery and go mum?" Mr. Twitchell asks. "Brand allegiance."

CORRECTION - MEETING REBBE AT THE TIME OF MOSHIACH

Rebbe asked me to correct an earlier Post, in which one of Rebbe's closest Talmidim accidentally wrote that we will all be meeting with Rebbe in the year Taf Taf, on Yom Kippur. As Rebbe explained, we will not be meeting on Yom Kippur, but rather Tisha B'Av, which will be a Yom Tov at the time of Moshiach. So, to clarify, we will be meeting:

When: The Year Taf Taf, Tisha B'Av morning, 10:00 AM

Where: Shaar HaMizrach

Hillulla with Rebbe

I just spoke to Rebbe, who asked me to make the Following Announcement:

Please Join Rebbe, the Shiur and the rest of Klal Yisrael at a Hillulla for Rav Shlomo Carlebach TZ"L

When: Sunday, October 28th, 5:30pm

Where: The Rubin Shul, YU

The Commercialization of the Revolution

I am very, very bored.

Hmmm...

Road Trip?

I think a road trip to visit Rabbi Yaakov, the Chief Rabbi of Nova Scotia (f'k'a "Rabbi Jeff" / Minister of Agriculture) is in order.

Or maybe we should take a ferry, with Rebbe, George Washington style

Quiet Desperation...

Welcome to my world. When the final battle begins, please pull me out from under my rock, together with the rest of the machine gun fodder, so that I don't miss all the fun and gore.

Hey ho lets go

So it talks about an inner soul war that takes place in ourselves. Tanya says its like urban warfare everyday between the G-dly souls versus animal soul. So I decided to get the edge with the latest Lulav Launcher model- " the palm-inator"

Look to the East

[Cut to Exterior: Hama shouts to the people of Rohan.]

Hama
By order of the king, the city must empty. We make for the refuge of Helm's Deep. Do not burden yourself with treasures. Take only what provisions you need.

Gimli:
Helm's Deep! They flee to the mountains when they should stand and fight. Who will defend them if not their king?

Aragorn:
He is only doing what he thinks is best for his people. Helm's Deep has saved them in the past.

Gandalf:
There is no way out of that of ravine. Théoden is walking into a trap. He thinks he is leading them to safety but what he'll get is a massacre. Théoden has a strong will but I fear for him. I fear for the survival of Rohan. He will need you before the end, Aragorn. The people of Rohan will need you. The defences have to hold.

Aragorn:
They will hold.

Gandalf:

[To himself]:The Grey Pilgrim. That's what they used to call me. Three hundred lives of men have I walked this earth and now, I have no time.

[To Aragorn]:With luck my search will not be in vain. Look to my coming at first light of the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East.

Aragorn:
Go.

From Rutgers to Rebbe "The makin of a field commander"

As the years creep there emerges an existential threat to the revolution and that it denial. It's not just the demigod of ancient egypt it is the ammo that the haters arm themselves with. They claim that the daily miracles we've seen rebbe perform with our own eyes were merely slight of hand and they will soon attempt to distill rebbe through an artscroll bio the same way the rav has been yeshivishized.(note to rabbi lamm's dismay rebbe didn't print the yu emblam in an attempt to have the reshimos accepted in the velt. rebbe did this in order to get the rav's torah out there and must be commended for taking action "eis lasot you can erase the yu emblam") . In any event many a chasid's memory begins to fade as they move into modern orthodox communities and become numb to the teaching of the revolution only to be awakened with a midlife move to israel, and i thought it important to jot down some of the stories,epics,lore,legends you get the pic so they are not lost forever. I thought an appropriate place to start would be to talk about rebbe's legendary tzfat trip. For one chasid it was where it all began(hence the title of the post). On rebbe's annual midwinter trip to israel (i would appreciate help from all who remember details) Rebbe decided to take a vision quest to tzfat. He and his driver reb feivel set out along with yoni goldstein ,yona, danimal,akivah ben cannan and your humble naarator. We crammed into reb feivel's nobody knew how they got ther or why they were chosen but we all embraced the oppurtunity to make new friends and enjoy the ride. We headed out for tzfat toward evening enjoying some snacks and tunes traveling a journey of hours in only minutes. We got to a split on the highway one direction headed toward tzfat and the other was toward naharia. It was decided that we should stop in nahariah to see the famed kabbalist and grandson o the bab sali rebbe david abuchaseira. We showed up and rebbe used his protecsia to ensure a speedy audiene with the great sage. We urged rebbe to teach us some torah and comendiered a side room where rebbe gave us a shiur on mishloach manot as he feasted on bananas. I pulled out m guitar to play a niggun but was met with scowls by a hoard of sephardic jews who were waiting to share their troubles with the rebbe. We went into see rebee david and he asked us each our names and gave us a blessing. I said that my name was yitzchak eliezer and he recited the passage by yitzchak's blessing of mea shearim. We all left and rebbe remained inside alone with rebbe david. rebbe emerged 15 minutes later shared a bit of cake with all of us and said that rebbe david let him ask whatevet he wanted and his shamash refused to accept any money from rebbe. Rebbe explained this is a sign of a truly great person because he is supported by one or two rich gvirim. As we were on the way out of town it was suggested that we stop at the beach to break bread sing a bit and pray the evening service.It was pouring outside, yet when we arrived at the beach the rain suddenly stopped heralding rebbe's arrival. The water came up to meet rebbe for netilat yadayim and we broke bread and frolicked on the beach singing songs of free men. We returned to the car with our bellies full and our heads held high and no sooner then reb feival stated the car did the gates of heaven open and we were shlacked by buckets of rain. The hour was getting late and we were all certain we would not find any accomadations at this late hour in tzfat. We arrived at the hotel ron in the wee hours of the morning to find a friendly clerk behind the front desk waiting to show us to hour rooms. We drew lots to figure out who would spend the night with who I think I spent it with the akivah? others will remember the details and we settled in to a good night sleep.

from middle earth...

Dwarves (also known as the Naugrim) are beings of short stature who all possess beards and are often friendly with Hobbits, although long suspicious of Elves. They are typically smiths and stoneworkers by profession, unrivalled in some of their arts, even by the Elves. The Dwarves called themselves the Khazâd, the name Aulë gave them; the corresponding definition in Sindarin is Hadhodrim, and in Quenya Kasári. The common words for Dwarves among the Elves were Naugrim or Nogothrim ('Stunted People'), but they were not used in actual intercourse, being substituted by Hadhodrim or Dornhoth ('Thrawn Folk').

Corleone today

Beginning in the 1960s, the town became famous (or perhaps infamous) for its Mafia, being the town in which some well-known clans had their headquarters (the Clan dei Corleonesi). One of the known mafiosi is Salvatore Riina. In 2003 there was an unsuccessful private referendum held to change the name of Corleone to its ancient name of Cuor di Leone, or Lion Heart, to shrug off its association with Mafiosi, fictional or otherwise. [1]

The most notable event in Corleone is the arrest of Bernardo Provenzano "Boss of Bosses", who was in hiding for more than 40 years. This gave rise to much celebration. "Liberation Day" on April 11 (the date of Provenzano's capture in 2006) and naming a street "11 Aprile" shows just how much the arrest has affected Corleone.

Maharishi University of Management, formerly known as Maharishi International University (MIU) established in 1974. Its campus is that of the defunct Parsons College, which closed its doors in 1973. Many residents moved to Fairfield to participate in the practice of Transcendental Meditation. The university campus, located on the north side of Fairfield, is home to two large golden domes used for the group practice of TM, the more advanced TM-Sidhi program and the Yogic Flying technique.

the whole world in your hand....

Rebbe's hand is everywhere..Look for us in Cali - east bay to LA
Or with our friends in DC - the UST
We made it through the Canadian border
Back home next week in J-Town

Because we're faster than the world we can't slow down

I hear the windy city calling - chitown, chitown
As we arrive in Tokyo - edemio
And the kids are cool in Kansas
Tomorrow's the Philly troc show

New York City - you can't slow down
East coast to the west coast - you can't slow down
Japan to Europe - you can't slow down
World wide hardcore Rebbe - you can't slow down

The world will try to catch up
When they think that this is a trend
But we'll keep moving fast enough
And they'll never comprehend
