Chabad Lubavitch Jews Caught on Video Pretending to Get Wine from Their Dead Rabbi

Hundreds of Chabad Lubavitch Jews were seen on video pretending to receive wine from their imaginary rabbi who died nearly 20 years ago, according to video uploaded to the internet.

The Jewish men stood in line to receive their imaginary wine from the dead rabbi. Some children and even toddlers were seen waiting on the line for their chance to receive imaginary wine from their beloved dead rabbi.

A large portion of Chabad Lubavitch Jews believe their late Rabbi, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, is the King Messiah, therefore, they believe the rabbi never died.

The imaginary rituals are held regularly at the main Chabad Lubavitch synagogue, which is located in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York.

On another video, Chabad Jews can be seen receiving one dollar bills from their imaginary dead rabbi, according to video uploaded to the internet. The ritual is performed while the large crowd chants: “Let the King Messiah live forever.”

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson was born on April 5, 1902 and died on June 12, 1994. He was known around the world as the Lubavitcher Rebbe and just the Rebbe among his followers. A year after the death of his father-in-law, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneerson, he assumed the leadership of the Lubavitch movement.

He led the movement until his death in 1994, greatly expanding its worldwide activities and founding a worldwide network of institutions to spread traditional Judaism among the Jewish people, and moral values of justice and honesty among all mankind.

These institutions include schools, kindergartens, synagogues and Chabad houses. He successfully built a network of more than 3,600 institutions in over 70 countries and 1000 cities around the world.

During his lifetime some of his followers had considered him to be the Jewish King Messiah but Rabbi Schneerson discouraged such talk.

Support a Brave Atheist

From an email I received from the American Humanist Association:

Dear Friend,

The devastating tornado that tore through Oklahoma earlier this week continues to affect thousands of families whose homes have been destroyed. Often after natural disasters, mentions of prayer, God and religion play a big role in the media---leaving out humanists and atheists who find greater value in taking direct action to support the victims.

You may have heard about the recent CNN live interview after the tornado---Wolf Blitzer spoke to Rebecca Vitsmun after her decision to leave Moore, Okla. at the last-minute to avoid the tornado that ultimately destroyed her own home. Blitzer asked, "You've gotta thank the Lord, right?" Carrying her baby in her arms, Rebecca replied, "I'm actually an atheist."

Rebecca didn't let Wolf Blitzer assume she "thanked the Lord," even though it would have been easier to do, and in so doing showed that you can be good without a god.

The response from our membership to the CNN story was already overwhelming: many American Humanist Association members saw the CNN interview and wanted to support Rebecca directly. I'm writing now, because we made contact with Rebecca, and have a means to give her direct support. We've created a special fund for Rebecca and her family, money that will be used to rebuild her home and support her family during this difficult time.

Rebecca spoke honestly and bravely, and she deserves our community's special support. Please donate to Humanist Charities' Rebecca Vitsmun Fund and see your donations given directly to support a brave atheist whose home was destroyed.

Natural disasters are a product of our environment, not supernatural forces. We, as fellow human beings, have a responsibility to help those in need when we can. And we applaud Rebecca for standing up to religious assumptions. I hope you will donate generously to the Rebecca Vitsmun Fund and see your dollars put to direct use.

Sincerely,
