Found some time to answer.
“Chossid, no, I have never learned the sichah dealing with not sleeping in the sukkah, ”
Then that shows you are not interested in understanding, rather….. Any sincere person when he doesn’t understand a concept he goes and learns the einyen before he comes up with a opinion. Seriously.
Just because some concepts are new to you, it doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
Don’t get me wrong, you don’t necessarily need to agree, but you can’t just mock the shita. You could expect it as a shita but you don’t have to agree.
“I have learnt repeatedly the Rambam that so many lubavichers quote as “proof” that your rebbe was/is Mashiach, and I have listened to it being intentionally mistranslated and misexplained many, many, many times. ”
Ok I said before I’m not well versed in the concept of Moshiach, all I could say is that the Rebbe never tried proving who moshiach is from the rambam, it’s just some meshchistim, and CS, no one else on this group claimed it. And believing the Rebbe is moshiach is not at all kfirah. (Like we all came to the conclusion earlier).
“You go on the attack with me here but you still don’t give an iota of explanation as to how the Rambam’s criteria point anywhere near the lubavicher rebbe. I don’t mind you attacking me. ”
I never argued with you about moshiach so i don’t know what you are referring to “attacking you”.
“In fact when you attack me and you avoid addressing the issues, as you have done in this post of yours, it just proves to me that you don’t have what to answer. But you’re not alone. No lubavicher does.”
To my knowledge all your issues I responded to. But you kept quiet after I responded to you regarding if he Rebbe made up the concept of nossi hador, and Sheva mitzvos is “Stam mishigasim”. So maybe just keep your comment to yourself.
And no one answered (besids you on 2 questions, which I’m not satisfied with, just don’t have the time to type up pages of chassidus) on the topic of reason for mitzvos. Don’t worry you don’t have to I will fall asleep with and answer.
And I think username also responded to you. So I don’t know what you mean “no Lubavitcher does”.
I think the core problem is that you don’t even hold that the Lubavitcher Rebbe is a man deomar, so you just mock everything he says. And you just say this “It’s all boich sevoros built on air and baseless claims made by your rebbe.” First you have zero respect for a talmid chochom, not even to mention a tzadik, Bal ruach hakodesh, and mofsim.
I wonder why you hold of the people you make your shitas from, more then the Rebbe, which so much of klal Yisrael held of him, and must of chassidishe world agrees with, that he is (at least) a man deomar. Not even mentioning how many thousands of them learn chassidus chabad and come to chabad Farbrengens, and go to the Rebbes ohel, and some come full fledge Lubavitchers.
And you just disregard him. Maybe it’s just that you like yourself and whoever agrees with your shita you hold of, and whoever doesn’t fit with your shita, you just degrade him and say it’s “boich svoros”.
And know regarding what you say that no one outside Lubavitche agrees with.
Let say no one agrees.
I will say again, each kreis fallows their Rebbe or rov, even if no one else agrees with him. You don’t have to agree with the Rebbe, but you absolutely have no right to put him down. Does everyone hold of the heter of shaving your beard? Or just one man deomar said the heter and those who follow him shave, even though the whole chassidish world doesn’t agree with him.
Get it straight, not every shita Lubavitche has (and same with everyone else), has to have a haskomoh from the world.
“Have you been paying attention? How many times have I stated and repeated that I have nothing against different minhogim and hashkofos? What irks me and many others is the claim that lubavich minhogim and hashkofos are at the pinnacle of the Torah world, when so many of the justifications given for them are meaningless and at times outright lies.”
First you stated many times that you do have problems with our hashkofa, second if it doesn’t fit with the “Torah world”, why don’t you have a problem? And who is bechlal the “Torah world”, and who made up this concept?
I would like to say, you can’t convince a person (non Lubavitcher) that is not interested in understanding to start agreeing with Lubavitch if he is just clueless of who the Rebbe is, what Lubavitche is, what’s chabads hashkofa, to start believing everything that Chabad says. Just like you can’t convince a goiy the whole concept of mitzvos and yomim toivim, if he doesn’t know who Hashem is and the Torah. The same is with any shita of someone, you won’t agree with his shita unless you know that he is a talmid chochom, and man deomar. The same is with Lubavitch and the Rebbe, (I don’t know why in the world CS opened this thread, and what her agenda is, and half the things she says are just made up, and not what the Rebbe said). Anyone who is sincere, and wants to understand what Lubavitche and the Rebbe is, and only way to do it, is to learn what it is, learn chabad Torah, learn the Rebbes Torah.
And I personally think it will change your opinion. You won’t be the first one, thousands before you did it, and currently now thousands are learning the Rebbes Torah and chassidus chabad. And I can promise you, and you can ask any of them what they think of it.
(Btw half of Lubavitche are balei tshuava, and people that originally were from different kreisin.)
So before you do that you should be quiet.
Case closed.
