I wonder if the non Chabad people are annoyed if Eastern Parkway, a major road through Brooklyn, is closed for a few hours for one photo?

As a non-Chabad Brooklyn resident I can share that closing of TWO short few blocks on Eastern Parkway for a few hours pales when compared to closing of nearly the entire Eastern Parkway for a full day or days, such as the annual full day closure for the West Indian Children’s Day Parade, followed by the annual full day and evening closure of the entire Eastern Parkway for the West Indian American Day Parade and festival, and let’s not forget the closure of major parts of Eastern Parkway for the Brooklyn Marathon and the Synchrony Financial Rock ‘n’ Roll Brooklyn Half Marathon.
On the context of major closures for entire days to accommodate other groups, the closure of two blocks of Eastern Parkway for just a few hours is really very little to be annoyed about (unless of course, one seeks excuses to be annoyed with Chabad, tries to “invent” chilul Hashems of “ma yomru hagoyim”, and views life with negativity – in which case, one must seek professional help)
