BREAKING! Gil Student's Chabad Website Hacked!

Rabbi Gil Student's website on the Rebbe and Chabad, http://www.moshiachtalk.com/ has been hacked!

Put the url in your browser window and you will be routed to http://www.yahoo.co.ja/ the Yahoo Japan homepage. (Many thanks to the [hostile] reader who alerted me to this.)

Although Gil's website was a series of proofs on why the Rebbe could no longer be the messiah, the site was very respectful of both Chabad and the Rebbe. The e-mail address attached to that site was hacked at the same time FailedMessiah.com was hacked. Gil did not want to go to the FBI then. He just couldn't bring himself to do it. I suspect that this time he will not be so naive.

You can buy Rabbi Student's book on which the website was based here.

Falash Mura / NACOEJ / Israel / JDC Dispute Escalates – Skullduggery To Blame?

The dispute between the Falash Mura community in Addis and NACOEJ has escalated once again.

"The [Ethiopian] government has made up its mind to kick out NACOEJ," Enyew told JTA. He also called NACOEJ a "mafia-like" organization and said the government plans to imprison the group's workers.

FailedMessiah.com can exclusively report that one of the Ethiopian principals in this dispute is alleged to have been removed from his position twenty-one years ago as an Israeli-backed community organizer in Sudanese refugee camps because of allegations of theft and misuse of funds meant for refugees.

Perhaps forces agitating against Falash Mura aliya have taken matters on the ground into their own hands. Let's hope no one dies or languishes in an Ethiopian prision because of this.

Yated Ne'eman On Chabad In Vilna

Yated Ne'eman weighs in on Chabad's ativities in Vilna:

In 1994, Lubavitch expressed interest in sending a rabbi to Vilna, and Mr. Alperowitz agreed. Rabbi Sholom Ber Krinsky moved to Vilna, and established his own Chabad House. He prayed in the community's Taharat Hakodesh shul on Shabbos, and could not put together a minyan during the week. The community did not offer him a rabbinical contract.…

After ten years of activity, his school had only 30 children (7 of which were his own), and not one family had committed themselves to shemiras hamitzvos. A social worker involved for years with the community informed us that Rabbi Krinsky had sent two girls to a Lubavitch school in London, and mentioned that at most Rabbi Krinsky may have influenced one or two more Vilna Jews to become slightly observant.

Rabbi Krinsky's social services were paltry in comparison to that of the community: he sent 20 children to a Lubavitch camp in Estonia, while the secular community sent 450 children to their own camp. Rabbi Krinsky claimed to help 150 people with his soup kitchen, while the general community was helping 1,500 — including the same 150 helped by Rabbi Krinsky.

Even more problematic were the scandals that hovered over his enterprises. Rabbi Krinsky's soup kitchen was closed down because it served contaminated food. A scandal erupted when charges were made that he had stolen money from donors. Creditors took over the first floor of his Chabad Center to cover unpaid debts. (He is still embroiled in court cases over debts.) He collected money around the world to maintain the Jewish cemetery but never paid the $25,000 to the community which was his share in the maintenance.

Krinsky has less than 30 die-hard followers within the community, who are mostly beneficiaries of his food kitchen or other activities. Of these followers, none have accepted a Lubavitch way of life on themselves or can even be called religious.… [Hat tip, Luke.]

Making The Rebbe Proud – Chabad Breaks The Law Again

The Antitrust Commission and the Justice Ministry examined on Monday the legality of 171 tenders offered for the purchase of properties in Kfar Chabad, a community in situated near the Ben Gurion Airport, to which only one bid was submitted for each tender.

Corruption, Chabad-Style: A Deal To Make The Rebbe Proud

From Ha'aretz:

It is hard to stay apathetic about the tender results for purchasing properties in Kfar Chabad, which were published last week. For each of the 171 tenders that the ILA published, only one bid was submitted.

In almost all of them, the bid was pretty close to the minimum price required by the ILA, and all the bids were won without problems, objections, or superfluous questions.

Embezzlement In Vina?

According to the Forward, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) is now saying that it

shifted its funding to the Jewish Community of Lithuania and away from Chabad because of financial problems with [Chabad Rabbi Sholom Ber] Krinsky . . .
