Reply To: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us!

As promised: (shluchim post 1)

OK I’ll get to the follow up and maybe others can help as well. But first, the post I promised iyh:

Sometime back (sorry too long to look for exact quote),
Rso, in the midst of all his complaints about lubavitch, said that he has been by shluchim on five continents and was very impressed by the work they do, and for sure that’s the Rebbe’s zechus, and he wishes Chabad would just stick to that instead of thinking of their Rebbe as the apex of all.

So I wanted to compliment him for admitting that as it didn’t help his case, but I also wanted to wait for the right moment to address it.

Others chimed in later on with the same idea saying Chabad should stick to mekareving not yet frum Yidden, but not go on shlichus to frum places.

I want to explain to you that ha bha talya (both are contingent on each other.)

To explain:

The Rebbe had a vision. A crazy vision. And the only reason why those shluchim are there for you in Thailand and Africa is because they bought into that vision. Otherwise they wouldn’t be there at all.

What was the vision?

When the Rebbe became Rebbe, he told us that our job is to make Geula happen. The Rebbe, being the Nassi of our generation (btw for those who were asking, see the book siach sod which documents the relationship of Gedoilei Yisrael with the Rebbe. Numerous quotes and stories etc.), saw it as his responsibility to make it happen by reaching as many yidden as possible and creating a teshuva movement (yidden should poshut keep Torah and mitzvos), and that Chassidus should be learned by everyone (as moshiach told the Baal Shem Tov was needed for him to come.)

This was the plan and the Rebbe sent out shluchim to both ends.
