770

Via Nextbook, a photography exhibit in San Francisco entitled 770:

This building, often referred to as "770," has been replicated worldwide with varying degrees of precision, as Chabad centers or for other purposes. Currently there are twelve 770's, including the original, in the United States, Canada, Israel, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, and Australia, and more are under construction in Cleveland, U.S.A and Santiago, Chile.



The Original, Brooklyn, NY

Milan, Italy

K'far Chabad, near Tel Aviv

Just another confirmation that Dr. Berger's thesis has merit. This whole enterprise of replicating buildings has a shmeck of Avodah Zarah.

You missed a picture of the one at Rutgers University.

After clicking on the link i see that you didnt really leave out the Rutgers building. In Stamford Connecticut the new Chabad got the 770 adress but i am not sure if they are replicating the building. I dont understand what the obsession is with the stupid building. Many Lubavitchers put a picture of 770 on their tallis and tefillin bags as well as replica tzedakka boxes as well as on their puffy paint yamulkas. To each their own.
