replies: text: 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)

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".

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.

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)

message: 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)

message: Reference to Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok as 'the Previous Rebbe', without prior introduction to or explanation of the usage, doesn't well serve an encyclopedia's readers, not all of whom will be Chabad or otherwise familiar with the nomenclature. Irish Melkite (talk) 17:30, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

message: According to Chabadinfo, on December 22 a tunnel was found under the building. On January 8th, 2024, a riot broke out with several arrested when a construction company was attempting to fill the tunnel with cement. 
The tunnels were part of recent, unauthorized excavations by individuals claiming to expand the building from the old Union Street mikvah. The Gabbaim of 770 addressed this by closing the Kingston Ave. A structural engineer confirmed no danger to the building, and the Gabbaim await further results to reopen the closed areas. This incident sparked concern and controversy in the community, emphasizing the need for unity and caution against baseless rumors. 174.23.159.195 (talk) 05:51, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
