Totally not NPOV, I am extremely biased with regards to this community, but someone had to write it. Daykart 13:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What part of NPOV? I think this is fine. JFW | T@lk 21:43, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The intial article said things like "the rebbe allegedly did not live to..." PinchasC has since gone through and revised it. The Yechi article is definitely not NPOV, though. Daykart 21:56, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I must comment on a number of inaccuracies in this article. As I see, the author takes great pride in the article I will post my comments here.

1. The building “770” is not on the corner of Kingston and Eastern Parkway. The corner buildings were purchased 25 years after the purchase of the original building.

2. No one “bought it for” the Previous Rebbe, His Organization "Agudas Chasidei Chabad of the Unites States" purchased the property directly from the bank "Nassau Savings and Loan" that owned it.

3. Mr. Lieberman may have contributed to the organization, but never owned the property or was involved in the actual purchase.

4. Rabbi Shlomo Aharon Kazarnovsky a”h, was involved in all aspects of the purchase, on behalf of “Agudas Chasidei Chabad”.

5. The congregation’s full name is “Congregation Lubavitch of Agudas Chasidei Chabad” as it appears on the receipts of the organization. Scholom 23:31, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the corrections. Although you are I do take great pride in the article, I do not have issue with others editing it. In the future, please feel free to make any changes that you feel are necessary. Remember, the encyclopedia is a group effort. Daykart 15:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Thanks. Scholom 20:30, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Time to unprotect?

I think it's time to unprotect this article. Enough time has gone by and the vandals are gone. Shlomke 17:58, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Historical mentions of 770 in the NY Times

New York Times (1857-Current file); Jan 14, 1892; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2003) pg. 3: Patrick McMahon of "770 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn" calls the Health Dept. the day before to complain that his son has been poisoned by a drug prescribed by Dr. George Law and sold by R.C. Werner (containing "two ounces of lacto peptine and sixteen drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic"), which the Times considers safe if "properly put up".

Display Ad 27 -- No Title New York Times (1857-Current file); Jun 5, 1935; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2003) pg. 26: A 1928 Rolls-Royce is put on sale at 770 Eastern Parkway, possibly the first mention of the current building, although it consists merely of the address. The car "originally cost $20,000", but the owner "will sacrifice". It is listed under "Chauffeur driven" at the far right of the page.

New York Times (1857-Current file); Jun 6, 1935; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2003) pg. 30: same classified ad, which also presumably runs on June 8 and 9, 1935.

BROOKLYN PHYSICIAN ADMITS U.S. TAX GUILT New York Times (1857-Current file); Mar 14, 1939; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2003) pg. 22: "Dr. S. Robert Kahn, of 770 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, ... pled guilty yesterday... to an indictment alleging failure to pay adequate taxes on an income of $389,800 between 1930 and 1934 inclusive ... Assistant United States Attorney James D. Saver told the court Dr. Kahn owed the government $74,000 in income taxes, interest, and penalties for the five-year period and that he had paid only $53 in income taxes for that period. The indictment did not mention the sources of the physician's large income. On Feb. 15 the extraordinary grand jury investigating law enforcement in Brooklyn under the guidance of John Harlan Amen, special assistant attorney general, filed charges against Magistrate Rudich, one of which alleged that he had released Dr. Kahn in bail while knowing that the bond in the case was deficient... Last August Dr. Kahn was cleared of homicide charges in connection with the death of a woman, who, according to the police, died after an illegal operation."

DOCTOR SENT TO PRISON New York Times (1857-Current file); Mar 28, 1939; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2003) pg. 14: The aforementioned doctor was sentenced to two and a half years behind bars for his tax evasion, which is counted in the article as being $74,008, while his income was allegedly more than $389,000.

The very next historical mention in the NY Times is about a Hasidic rabbi: Rabbi Back From Israel New York Times (1857-Current file); Jul 5, 1949; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2003) pg. 14: Samiraus Gourary, who is mentioned as being of 770 Eastern Parkway, is back from Israel after having arranged an aliyah for 2000 Eastern European Jews on behalf of the "United Lubovitcher Yeshivas".

and it's Hasidic from there on. — Rickyrab | Talk 01:36, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Architecture Reproduction

Is the section in parentheses at the end really necessary? It detracts from the focus of the article and adds nothing really relevent. I wil remove it now, but I am still posting this here so that, if someone reverts the edit they will hopefully provide a reason. Harel Newman 04:23, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Abortion clinic reference

There is no reference to 770 Eastern Parkway having been an abortion clinic in the attached article. Where does that information come from?--Lastexpofan (talk) 05:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
