Reply To: Does “Chasidish” refer to both Satmar and Lubavitch?

Honestly I love my parents and they to me them proud and I don’t think this is an insult. They themselves are baalei teshuva, but they would prefer their kids don’t marry baalei teshuva, but ffb. And it’s obviously not because anything is won’t with baalei teshuva, it’s just about compatibility. Baalei teshuva usually click with other baalei who can understand their past, identify with their struggles, chuckle appreciatively when they mention a TV show they’ve seen… All things that I would not be able to do. But it doesn’t mean gezhe people are greater than baalei teshuva, only Hashem knows, but in general, bmakom shebaalei teshuva omdim tzaddikim gemurim ainom yecholim laamod, because they turned their whole lives around for Hashem, usually against all odds, and have to second guess every decision they make… It’s definitely not easy and I’m very proud of my parents and hope they are just as proud of me
