Reply To: Question of an ignorant, closed-minded Lubavitcher

In no way are we enjoined to delve into the esoteric… but Chabad ignored all this and decided to go against the norm. It is now reaping what it sowed in violating the edict of our Rabbonim.

You make it sound like all the rabbanim of klal Yisroel ruled that one is not allowed to learn kabbala, yet in recent years a bunch of Chabad fanatics ignored the rabbanim and started poking their noses in the wrong places.

This is far from the truth.

The Arizal already said: בדורות אלו האחרונים מותר ומצוה לגלות זאת החכמה
(In these recent generations it is a mitzvah to reveal this chochma).

Came the Baal Shem Tov and his many followers in the next generations who were Torah giants in nigleh and chassidus, and they felt that the time came to spread this Torah to Klal Yisroel more than ever before (because of the special inspiration that was need for our hard times, as well as to prepare for the geula).

If Rav Reuven Feinstein (or any other rov) feels that this is unnecessary, does that compel Chabad chassidim to give up the derech of their own rebbes!?

(Then you claim that CHABAD wants everyone to follow their rabbis!)
