Bs’d.
Bnos Menachem is a moisad trying harder every day to raise their students with a strong Chinuch that makes the Rebbe proud. They spare no effort, in my experiences both as a student and from the other side of the desk.

If you would, in theory, support, yet the details of the campaign throw you off – think back to your positive intention and help in the way that you can.

Tizku lemitzvos!

In reply to They need to raise money. I thought the same when I saw my daughter come home with this catalog. It glorifies values which are not in line with the chassidishe chinuch Bnos Menachem gives. Of course every auction has to have some gashmiyus to appeal to the nefesh habehamis, but there’s a difference between a few sentences describing the prize, and pages upon pages about why this influencer with so many followers thinks you should want to win the extravagant prize….es past nisht. I’m sure it was an oversight on part of the incredible Bnos Menachem team to let this through and I encourage everyone to donate to the school directly through their website, no need to enter the auction.

Suddenly everyone is worried about Lubavitch values. How many of you are careful when you learn chitas and rambam? How many of you are careful to have ahavas Yisrael? How many of you actually care about our deep core values? It’s very easy to pretend to care when you are behind a keyboard, but we all see through your facade.

Good shabbos.

In reply to Marketing agency. %100 its obvious the advertisement was made by an outside company, no reason to bash a Moisad that does such amazing work because of the prizes in their auction.

As someone who has ran a campaign before, the marketing is done by an outside agency who writes the copy and makes the graphics. The moisad, which does stand for chassidishe values, paid little attention to these details.

I’m sure now that it was pointed it out, they will be more careful in the future.

There are many auction and raffles to raise money for a moised, they however dont try sell you on why you NEED a rolex to impress people, or why every family should spend irresponsible amounts of money to eat shakshukah overlooking the Western Wall. The article about the need of materialism was also disappointing.
A real shame from a moised that prides itself in its chinuch and staying strong to chassidishe values!

It is hard to imagine that whoever came up with this message is an “insider” when it come to our Chassidisher values.

Have we lost hope in Lubavitchers? Do we no longer believe in giving to a good cause, with getting some prizes a side motivation?
I personally know a number of people who were so turned off by the advertising that they aren’t buying any tickets at all…

The auction booklet that was mailed out glorified Instagram influencers and their lifestyle…doesn’t seem appropriate for a Lubavitcher mosad, especially one that prides itself on chassidishe chinuch

In reply to A little disappinted. They don't teach that, but to raise money they reason they need to appeal to people's materialistic instinct.

This extremely materialistic and glorification off excess and being an insider seems off brand with bnos Menachem’s mission to impart chassidishe values
