“which finally gave me the 100% clarity on why the shluchim are sent to places where there are no yidden familiar with Torah.”
Bingo. I remember when I had that realization. The sad irony is that they preach acceptance and anti-isolationism when they are [very intentionally] sheltering the unlearned masses from learning any non-Chabad (mainstream) shittahs. And, if someone by chance learns one, they have to spin it around eg. “we daven with more kavanah than everyone else because we eat first and miss zman hatefilla”, “we’re careful to not sleep in the Sukkah”, etc. We can laugh it off, but, unfortunately, people in remote areas end up really believing these things.
