WOW! Some of you posters are really sick & offensive.
I’m a Lubavitcher who was raised Yeshivish & I can’t begin to tell you the flack I got from my family for becoming Chabad. We are old school Chabad: We are Chassidish, we don’t compromise & quite frankly, we DON’T CARE WHO MOSHIACH IS! He just needs to show up already!
But it is incumbent of every generation to search for Moshiach of their time. Ze hu.
As for RebbetzinG… nobody in their right mind can take her rants seriously. Yes, she does do a great disservice to the majority of Lubavitchers – like us- who learn, daven, follow the hora’as of our Rebbeim & busy ourselves with helping other Jews. (Lubavitchers also don’t call police Nazis, by the way.)
As for bias on YWN against Chabad…. I don’t think that’s true. Everyone here hates equally. I have read comments from “frum” people that are shocking in their viciousness and name-calling. As someone above said, disagreeing with a particular group’s ethos is OK, attacking its members with spite & hate is another thing entirely.
Tomorrow is Gimmel Tammuz, the 25th Yartzheit of the Rebbe. I lived in Crown Heights then. Agree or disagree with Chabad & the Rebbe, we are used to that.
edited – I would have just deleted but the rest of the post was too good to pass up
And then you vayn over the fact that Moshiach isn’t here??? A gutten Shabbos to all of you, whether or not you “approve” of us. Personally, I really don’t care anymore.
