@TsBaum -You suggested that the solution to the problem of the meshichists and elohists is simply to daven to HKBH for Moshiach.
It sounds like you’re saying that there is no need for any specific hishtadlus, other than davening.
By the same token, why invest so much time and effort into kiruv?
Why don’t just say that the solution to assimilation is simply to daven for Moshiach?
Obviously, Chabad realizes that davening is not enough. There’s a need to engage the non-religious, put on tefillin and invite them for shabbos etc.
We need to do hishtadlus.
So too, when dealing with the “crazies”” of Chabad, there’s a need to do hishtadlus- to exert effort at separating them from Chabad and minimizing their impact.
Let me ask you:
If you saw that a chabad house was inviting an elohist to a farbrengen, would you protest that farbrengen? if you saw a post for it, would you take it down?
I think this should be agreed upon by everyone, correct? We all agree that Elohists are kefira, and that no chabad house should be supporting or hosting them?
So even if you won’t make a public protest, but at least you should try and minimize their influence.
