@AviraDeArah, Just because it was not his idea, that doesn’t change the fact that he founded a movement. He opened the first school that taught secular studies.
And I’m sorry that I’m not brainwashed, but the fact is that he was a Rabbi. This is a historical fact. It says it on his matzeivah. And although many Rabbis were very outspoken against him, there is no one that has no one outspoken against them, although some more than others. One of the main reasons he was spoken against was because he advocated secular studies. Which we all teach.
Does anyone claim the lubavitcher Rebbe was not a Rebbe?
There is a difference between R’ and spelling it out. And if you really want you can read it as standing for rasha. Which according to my limited research is a rediculous claim since he was clearly more frum than almost anyone I ever met.
