DIN: In Beit Shemesh, there is a brand new neighborhood called "Nevei Shamir" it is better known as Ramat Hey! Two years ago there was a huge fight, as extremists didn't want streets named after women there! Those complaining didn't even live there.
I don't know why they don't call Megilas Esther, "Megilas Mordechai?" Or for that matter Kever Ruchel, "Kever Lavan's Daughter?"
Either way, I wasn't aware that there was an unwritten rule that streets in Bnei Brak couldn't be named after the last Lubavitcher Rebbe or R' Ovadia Yosef.
Is that sick or what?
Interesting, that there is a street named after Jabotinsky!
So the City of the Chazon Ish, Steipler and R' Chaim Kanievski (all related) discriminated against other Gedoilei Yisrael!

You want to be mevazeh the Rebbuh King Moshiakh, by just naming a street after him? You want to treat him like stam a Hasidishe Rebbe?
How about commissioning a statue of him, maybe giving out dollars.
Kfar Habad is not far away, the Rebbuh has a whole town there. You want to just give him a street name???
"streets in Bnei Brak couldn't be named after the last Lubavitcher Rebbe...
Is that sick or what?"
Since when do they name streets there after people that are still alive?
it is not "sick". would crown heights ever name a street after rav shach, or kiryas joel ever name a street after rav kook? let every kroiz keep their identity and hashkafa, and let them preserve their own unique mesorah that they fought for and live for...one should not try to "stir things up" by messing around with people's identities.
You do realize that crown heights is part of new york and that chabad has no jurisdiction to name street within crown heights right?
NYC has many streets named, or co-named for people. Groups, community boards, etc., suggest them, they are voted upon, and are often approved.
Who is this guy demanding a street named after the Chabad Lubavitch Rebbe in Bnei Brak?
If there is no such thing in Crown Heights, where the late Rebbuh of the Chabad lived for so many years, the seat of the Lubavitch sect, who are they to demand it be pushed on people elsewhere???
Where is רחוב אדמו"ר ליובאווויטש in Crown Heights??? I challenge you to find such a thing on any map.
