A group of Chabad bochurim gathered outside 770 Eastern Parkway on Monday night to respond to two individuals who have repeatedly set up outside the headquarters to livestream Bible readings accompanied by harp music. According to community members, the pair have been asked multiple times to stop proselytizing at the location but have continued returning.
Rather than direct confrontation, the bochurim assembled in a circle behind the missionaries and sang Chabad niggunim while dancing with enthusiasm. Video from the scene shows dozens of students clapping and dancing only a few feet from the camera, their activity largely drowning out the livestream broadcast.
The encounter remained non-violent, with the students using song and dance as their response. The missionaries have become a regular presence outside 770, where their Bible readings and harp music have prompted ongoing frustration among Crown Heights community members.
