I think we should understand why studying Chassidus and Kabbalah is so important to Chabad. I used to listen to Rabbi Butman when he was on the radio on Motzei Shabbosim. On numerous occasions, he said that when Moshiach comes there will be no more conventional Talmudic study, rather we’ll only learn the Kabbalistic interpretations of the Gemara. Since Lubavichers believe that we’re already in Yemos Hamoshiach they’re trying to replace Talmudic study with the study of Chassidus. Last week my son met a Lubavicher who told him, “Learning Torah without Chassidus is like ordering a steak meal and only getting served french fries.” edited
