I have no hatred for Chabad I love them. They are personally wonderful people and they are my brothers. I do find some ideas that seem to be particularly prevalent in chabad circles to be objectionable. Let us imagine a group of people behaving in a way that is morally bankrupt. Let’s say for example they said young children getting married and child abuse are good ideas in the 21 century. Or that we should go into secular Jewish neighborhoods and rough up anyone who isn’t observant to our standards. Feel free to imagine your own immoral possibilities. Well what would happen if those things became well known? There would naturally be a big public out cry.All of the gedolim and all the people would object. But if the leader of the immoral leadership would say “I am right I am a greater gadol. They are all tainted”. I would hope that their followers would follow the rest of klal Yisroel and the gedolim when they draw a line. If they don’t it would seem impossible to dissuade these well meaning followers of their errors. We would view our misguided brethren with great pity and hope they can one day see the truth. But if one won’t listen to reason,sources or gedolim there is very little we can do. We know people have a profound ability to corrupt themselves as we see all of the indiscretions that happened right after yitzies mitzrayim and Matan Torah. We pray for them cry for them and wait longingly for our brothers to correct themselves.
