Reply To: Chanuka Menorah

@put- what are you talking about? There were others ever heard of Rabbi Yosef Shalit ben Eliezer Riqueti in Chochmat haMishkan and Rabbi Emmanuel Ricci in Ma’aseh Choshev (more famous for his kabbalistic work Mishnat Chassidim) Ever heard of the Ibn Ezra or MagenAvraham? Check out their opinion on how the Menorah looked. You keep bringing up the Rambam since he is the only Rabbi you can “safely” talk about. I guess everyone else before and after him hated chabad even though chabad didnt even exist yet.
How come in 770 the actual Menorah was 90 degree angled branches in the earlier years? There is a pic on col right now showing that. How come the chabad yeshiva in south beach has a round menorah gate for the aron kodesh?
You dont even know for sure the Rambam meant it as diagonal.
Regardless of anything why dont you stop thinking that everyone should follow your ways?
I saw an article on col on a peace meeting between lubavitch and belz. Comments were so hateful “we will never forgive them” and ” when belz change their golden menorah on the aron kodesh to a chabad/rambam menorah then we will know there is peace. REALLY!! Why do you have this sick idea that everyone needs to “submit” to your ways in order to have peace with you. DISGUSTING! Another one commented on how the chabad rabbis kapota was all worn out and the chassidim around all had nice new bekishes, and went on to say “thats the difference between them and us”.
Stop always comparing yourselves to everyone. THE WORLD DOESNT REVOLVE AROUND YOU!
Everyone has minhagim, why are you being mezalel in everyone else outside of chabad? And then you wonder why people dislike you. They dislike your arrogant mindset is what they dislike. Change this mentality.
What do you care what menorah someone is using. Dont you use menorahs without branches just a metal strip and glass cups? Was that how the menorah looked? You should use only diagonal branch menorahs cant use anything else right? Even the public chabad menorahs arent all diagonal some are diagonal then go straight up almost like a curve. So why the hypocrisy?
