Avraham Yitzchak Rebbe investigated at JFK

B"H

"Yeshiva World" reports that the Rebbe of the Toldot Avraham Yitzchak, Rebbe Shmuel Yaakov Kahn, was detained in JFK Airport:


Sources tell YWN that upon the Rebbe’s arrival, he was immediately taken by agents into a private room and hassled for more than an hour. He was repeatedly questioned how much cash he was bringing into the USA. After more than an hour of intense interrogation, and searching all the Rebbes belongings, it was obvious that there was no illegal activity involving the Rebbe - and he was permitted to exit the airport.

The Rebbe arrived today for a scheduled visit seeking to raise funds to support his ailing mosdos, some reportedly on the verge of collapse.


This upcoming shabbos, Lech Lecha, the Rebbe will hold a tisch in Boro Park.

  1. Oh No! Well they are not thinking. He is going to "get" money so obviously he has none!

    On a more serious note, I think this is part of obummers anti-semitic stance towards Jews. I expect to see more. You may note that there is no news of "islamic clerics" being hassled--what an outcry that would bring!

    The Gerrer Rebbe went to NY the day before yesterday and didn't seem to have problems. Maybe because he is so well known and has lots of power.

    So, what is going on with Avraham Yitzchak ?

    Obviously someone gave the New York police a hint about Rebbe Shmuel Yaakov Kahn. He would smuggle drugs into the US.

    If so, who did it ?

    Some people accuse the Toldot Aharon, as there was the "fireworks incident" on last Mozzaei Simchat Torah. Did a Toldot Avraham Yitzchak Chassid blew up the firecrackers inside the TA Synagogue and is the investigation at JFK a revenge act ???
