    They (Chabad) can’t open a branch without asking prior permission of the Chief Rabbi of Iran the all powerful and wise, kindest of all creatures [in the forest] and birds in the sky. Doctor for life Idi Amin Friedman! (distnatly related to Dr. Idi Amin Dada! Also, they must present their credentials to the President of Iran Ahamdi nejad!!!

    TO MR RICHTER
    YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MAKE UP OF A TRUE LUBAVITCHER CHOSSID AND SHALIACH
    SHLUCHIM WILL GO B`AISH UBEMAYIM FOR THEIR REBBE ZATZAL
    THERE IS NO OTHER MANHIG IN HISTORY WHO BUILT AN ARMY OF SHLUCHIM AROUND THE GLOBE LIKE THE LUBAVITCHER REBBE ZATZAL
    IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME– A SHALIACH WILL BE IN IRAN,JUST LIKE TUNSIA ETC

    As a Lubavitcher, I’ll go! It’s better than living under Hussein & his militia.

    Let’s say Moshe told you to jump into the sea?
    We see that only one in 600,000 would actually do it.

    I’m sure it was never Rabbi Schneerson’s desire to see his supporters put into the kind of danger that being in Iran would put them in. Wrong place wrong time…sorry… I love the Chabad people and their dedication but not at the risk of their lives!!!!

    THEY KNOW THEY NEED A RABBI OR LEADER TO LEAD THEM, TO TEACH THEM ABOUT WHAT IT IS TO BE A JEW. AND THEY KNOW THE ONLY ONES THAT WILL COME ARE CHABAD. AND CHABAD WILL BE THE ONLY ONES THAT WILL NOT LOOK DOWN ON THEM FOR NOT BEING SHOMER SHABBAT. MOST OF THEM IF NOT ALL OF THEM ARE NOT SHOMER SHABBAT. BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO LEADERS / RABBI. CHbad
