American tech entrepreneur Marc Randolph was recording another episode for his business podcast “That Will Never Work” and ended up celebrating a personal milestone. Randolph, a Silicon Valley investor who co-founded the Netflix video streaming service, welcomed to his show Lubavitcher brothers Yossi Chayo and Levi Chayo. The two founded and operate Bellissimo Custom Hats in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood and are behind a line of fedoras made of rabbit fur felt. They spoke with Randolph about their founding and growth.
Following their interview, the Chayos inquired about Randolph’s background. He was born as the eldest child to a Jewish family in Chappaqua, New York. Asked about tefillin, the 64-year-old Randolph said he has never put them on. So the Chayo brothers offered him to put them on then and there. He agreed and thus celebrated his bar mitzvah. With their help, he recited the brachos. Following that, the three broke into a dance to celebrate the special occasion.

Foolish tragic. Those who applaud the ones running around doing such stuff have their Judaism upside down

Who needs this?
why the hate?? this jew now has the zchus of wearing tefilin for 1 day. do you know the value?
Time to go back to your Gemara if you don’t get and don’t have it keep your comments to yourself and don’t turn yidden off!
Are you guided by rov or rebbe to make such a senseless comment. At least they have the backing of their rebbe.
Yes, he is.
Can you please post his cellphone number and personal email address?
Kiddush Lubavitch.
“his bar mitzvah”
He became a bar mitzvah a long time ago. Another PR gimmick of a certain sect.
Habad is the coolest. Habad is everywhere. Habad ultra amazing.
You get someone to put in tiffilin once in his life and you call it a gimmick. It’s the 9 days so I won’t call you anything.
Nu, it’s hard to handle it
No need to be jealous, join the club and get many others to do Mitzvahs to. No need to bash other ‘sects’, be proud of young business guys that use the Chabad model to bring kedusha in al levels of the world.
Not really a gimmick. I am totally not a Lubavitcher but I will defend them here. Do you know why the Rebbe instituted a campaign to get yidden to put on tefillin?
Nothing straighter than a crooked ladder.
Keep your racist “sect” comments personal and keep on sulking. Shame on you.
To you idiotic commenters above

This is major and these brothers have this amazing zechus
Did they have him say yechi after putting on the tefillin, like some Lubavitchers do?
When is he going to the Ayhel to meet the Rebbeh MH”M?

We have a larger Mission. Every action is supposed to be evaluated within that context.
Assume you agree that Our religion is far more than momentary feel good rituals.
Go ahead checkup the source reference.
That you Beach missed the boat regarding Judaism is sadly clear , is it necessary therefore to broadcast it?

The gedolim were against gimmicks. We need to teach Yidden real Yiddishkeit, not just do some photo ops
Totally disagree with all you weirdos
Repeat

it may be a photo op, and im the last person to go and thoroughly approve of the approach of chabad, but lemaysa they gave a jew the oppurtunity to do a mitzvah. period. and even if that is where it ends at least it was something
