9 January—Remember when, about two weeks before Chanukah (which last month began several days before Christmas), the electric menorah plopped in front of the deteriorating Chabad Church of the Litchfield Blockbuster was turned on well before it should have been? And not candle by candle, as it should have been.

Well, the shameless grifters of the all-to-visible local Chabad Lubavitch klavern have finally seen fit to take it down, almost two weeks after it should have been done.

The anachronistic menorah was standing and fully illuminated Friday afternoon when I drove by the poor desecrated former Methodist church; by late Sunday morning it had disappeared.

Assuming the menorah hadn’t been stolen by some wannabe Maccabee, it likely had been removed on Saturday. But Chabad Lubavitch faithful aren’t supposed to do things like that on the sabbath. So they must have hired a shabbes goy—a non-Jewish ad hoc laborer—to do the dirty. I wonder if the poor schmuck got paid.

It would have been nice to report that the menorah had been removed on Epiphany, 6 January, when it’s traditional (but not mandatory) for lots of nice people—Jews included—to take down their Christmas decorations. But unless the removal had been accomplished before Friday became Saturday, the passing of the menorah could not have honored the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child.

Back, now, to the holier-than-thou grifters, an embarrassment to God and Jews, a gift to antisemites. The latest intelligence on the Connecticut Secretary of the State’s website is that Chabad Lubavitch of Litchfield County, Inc. (CLOLC), Joseph I. Eisenbach, president, is active even though its last report was due in 2018 but hasn’t been filed yet. The last report CLOLC filed was in 2017, covering the five years from 2013 through 2017. Unhappily, CLOLC aren’t the only buggers to get away with it.

Then there’s Chabad Lubavitch of Northwest CT, LLC (CLONC), Chabad Lubavitch of Litchfield, principal; Rabbi Joseph I. Eisenbach, agent. That’s flagged as forfeited, the dissolution having been executed 19 July 2022. Behold the forfeiture notice below.

Going to the holy grifter website, chabadnw.org, then, we see on the footer, “860-567-3609 – Litchfield County, Southbury, Waterbury. 100% of the proceeds of all donations or payments benefit Chabad of Northwest CT” [Editorial emphasis]

So everything sucker-schmucks give to the local Chabad klavern is actually going to a non-existent entity. Sounds like a clear case of fraud. But why is that not surprising? And why is it not surprising that the buggers are getting away with it?

Easy. Blame a pathetic and disastrous misinterpretation of the First Amendment by courts for allowing allegedly God-based hypocritical crooks to get away with virtually everything that would get secular crooks sent up the river. And they don’t even have to file tax returns . . .
