1994: Thousands Mourn The Lubavitcher Rebbe

Tens of thousands of Chasidic Jews flocked to Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood to pay tribute to Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who died here early Sunday morning at the age of 92.
A monumental figure in the modern-day Jewish world who headed the Chabad movement of Lubavitcher Chasidim, Schneerson was mourned by followers around the globe, many of whom believed him to be the Messiah.
At Lubavitch headquarters in Brooklyn, thousands of mourners gathered Sunday afternoon under overcast skies to join the funeral procession to the cemetery in Queens where the rebbe was laid to rest.
Known to hundreds of thousands of followers worldwide as simply "the rebbe," Schneerson was seventh in a line of Lubavitch rabbis dating back to 18th century Russia.
He left no heirs to assume leadership over the fervently Orthodox movement he headed for 44 years.
As a result, the rebbe's death leaves a gaping leadership vacuum in the Lubavitch movement, which claims hundreds of thousands of followers worldwide, as well as Chabad outreach centers across the globe.
Schneerson had been hospitalized last February after suffering repeated seizures stemming from a stroke he had in 1992, which paralyzed the right side of his body and left him bedridden and unable to communicate.
On March 10, Schneerson suffered a second stroke, which doctors said "seriously weakened" the left side of his body.
Though officials of the Lubavitch movement were characteristically optimistic about the rebbe's condition in his final weeks, when he lay unconscious supported by a respirator, they were forced to concede that his condition had deteriorated.
During the week preceding his death, the rebbe had suffered kidney failure. At 7 p.m. Saturday, he went into cardiac arrest, but his condition was later stabilized. At 12:55 a.m. Sunday, the rebbe suffered a second cardiac arrest. He was pronounced dead at 1:50 a.m.

[@Reporterreporter770]

A messiah (from Hebrew mashiakh, "anointed"; calqued into Greek as christos, whence "Christ") is like your big brother who's going to come home from school one of these days and beat up all the bullies. Jesus is the Messiah of Christianity, but in his day was probably just one of a great number of anti-Roman street preachers with claims to being Messiah.

[@davidshinkorenko3459]

Jesus Ha Mashiach beat up your “inner bullies,” he allowed us to not be captured by the shackles of sin, and allowed us to have teshuvah. He was the Lamb that was sacrificed, and there is no longer any need for animal sacrifices. If you deny him, you deny a sacrifice on your behalf.

Jesus is the Messiah; he rose again on the third day. 21 years later, the Rebbe is still very much dead.

[@Matis_wav]

+Ciaran Ryan Hmmmmm I don't think Jesus rose on the third day... Just because he said he did and one person thinks he witnessed it... doesn't mean it happened. Whereas the Rebbe fit all of the qualification of the moshiach (givien to us by Maimonides). Also if you're going to try to disprove me, don't quote anything from that bullshit you call the "New Testament" or the "Gospels".

[@Yobbie72]

Matt Levine Jesus appeared to not only the 11, but at other times to as many as 500, and later, to Saul, a Pharisee and the Church's greatest persecutor, who then became the greatest Apostle. And your disrespect for the New Testament shows that you are closed to the truth. I shall pray for you.

[@Matis_wav]

Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'rabbeinu Melech Ha'moshiach Leolam Vaed (jokingly). I'm enclosed to the New Testament because the Torah explicitly says NOT to add anymore books more should we re-write anything that was written by G-d. Therefore, the New testament is not recognized by the Yidden (Jewish People)

[@Yobbie72]

Matt Levine Yet the Jews added the prophetic literature, and then after Jesus, the Talmud.

[@Matis_wav]

Ciaran Ryan We added REAL prophets!! Not Jesus because he was a false prophet. The Talmud talks about Jesus In Meseches Gittin Daf 56 Amud Beis and it says that he is, "burning in a pit of excrement." Keep in mind, these people lived during the time of Yeshu. The Rebbe was not a prophet, although he could tell the future because he had something called "Ruach Hakodesh". There are many people who have had these powers. And Jesus very well could have had it. But he gained it through the wrong way (As it states in Toldos Yeshu).
