Reply To: Chanuka Menorah

@DaasYochid-I dont know what the ranting would do but I would hope at least some of it will make them realize the other side of the coin.
“I do know some Lubavicher chassidim, and I don’t get the impression that they’re particularly arrogant.”
-Yes you know only some so your not really in a position to fully understand. If you were ever in the system or spoke to MANY not just some you would get a better idea.
And youre right that they think their ways are correct but thats fine with me as everyone typically believes in their ways thats why they follow it. The problem only arises when you expect everyone to also follow your ways and proactively push it on others by trying to prove how you are right and they are wrong and not accept any other views as valid.
Besides if you would ever check their site once in a while(only to understand) and especially their comments you would be disgusted and shocked. And yes, the sites propaganda and comments does reflect and affect their mindset and they are very careful what comments they let through so that it doesnt affect their agenda.
Everything that they make news out of they will always try to connect it to chabad to take credit for it and show as if they are the leaders of he Yiddishe Velt. For example Rabbi Meir Soloveitchik lit the Menorah in the white house last week, col posted the article, first comment-“Rabbi Soloveitchik learned in lubavitch cheder in chicago”. Does that tell you enough? What does that comment prove? Is he lubavitch now? Did it matter that he studied at Brisk in actual Yeshiva age and not cheder? How many lubavitchers go to non chabad cheder for whatever circimstance? Whats the difference.
Or when a Gadol passed away the comments stated “oh well he didnt hate chabad so ya he was a Gadol he will be missed”. Absolutely appaling.
No other site or Jewish sect will you see or hear this type of talk. Everyone had machokes throughout the years but lubavitchers decide to keep grudges against everyone and say Yimach Shemo on some Gedoilim or freely mock them, and only accept ones who “prove” to them that they have no issue or are “close to chabad”
