More proof that Zimroni Tzik shr”y – who was celebrated and mourned on MAINSTREAM Chabad websites was an elokist: From Crownheights info:
“Just a week after we published the protest of a Rabbi in the Chabad community in Melbourne, Rabbi Tzvi Telsner against a handful of depraved and shameless individuals who disguise themselves as Chassidim, that took it upon themselves to cancel the fast of Asara B’Teves and to celebrate it as a holiday – Rabbi Gedalia Axelrod, Chabad Rabbi in Haifa, a letter unprecedented in its sharpness against these groups who willfully shame themselves in Chabads name.
Two days later a second letter followed with Rabbi Axelrod calling not to attend an event that Zimroni Tzik is organizing for Tes Shvat, saying that he was told personally that Tzik has a custom to eat on fast days and though he doesn’t recommend other do so, rather he refers them to certain Sichos of the Rebbe and tells them to draw their own conclusions.
The following is a translation of the letter to Zimroni Tzik:
In the matter of the keness Mr. Zimroni Tzik would like to hold on [Sunday] 9 Shevat in the auditorium at Tel Aviv University, following my letter of yesterday I hereby notify the congregation that I spoke today with two prominent Chabad figures shlita, and they told me they personally heard Mr. Zimroni say he eats on Asoroh Beteves and the other fasts Chazal established, and when people ask how they should conduct themselves he does not instruct them to follow his example, but refers them the holy sichos and tells them to examine them in order to determine what to do, Rachmono litzlan.
Likewise he has done away with Simon 131 in Orech Chaim, Rachmono litzlan, removing Nefilas Apoyim from his tefilloh. In general, he holds that neither a rov nor the Shulchon Oruch determines his conduct.

I can attest that his hashkofoh regarding emunoh in the Oneness of Hashem Yisborach contains heresy and apikorsus, like that of his close friend, Mr. Shmuel Frummer.
Since loyal Chabad members are influenced by him and some have fallen into severe decline as a result, he is considered ‘machti es harabbim’ and is the greatest enemy of Melech Hamoshiach.
His ways are closely reminiscent of the cult of Shabsai Tzvi, sheim reshoim yirakev, and where it may lead, no one can know.
According to halochoh, he should be excommunicated – cherem and niddui – if he does not repent, and he must be removed from our community. As such, with a torn and burning heart I hereby issue a call to carefully avoid these evildoers.
Under no circumstances should one attend the above mentioned keness, which is the exact opposite of gatherings of tzaddikim.
Because not a single rabbi is participating in his event, he has invited the illustrious Rav Kalmanson shlita from the US to speak at the event, and I hereby urge him to avoid the event, and he will receive great reward for doing so.”
End Article.
First, we see that this Tzik was a rasha who didn’t beleive in Achdus Hashem. Yet he is celebrated and praised on COLLIVE, CHABAD INFO, and BEIS MOSHIACH.
Second, we see that Axelrod, the writer of this letter, himself is a nutjob Meshichist: He wrote: “Since loyal Chabad members are influenced by him and some have fallen into severe decline as a result, he is considered ‘machti es harabbim’ and is the greatest enemy of Melech Hamoshiach.” No, “Rabbi” Axelrod, he is the greatest enemy of Hashem.
Furthermore, many Collive commentators brought proof of Tzik’s “greatness” in comments from ztories of the Rebbe, proving the Rebbe wasn’t as “all-knowing” as some in Chabad think he is.
