CS: “Secondly it was never a blanket rule or else Rashi would not have taught his daughters, Tge Or HaChaim HaKadosh wouldn’t have written his peirush (based on shiurim with his daughters) etc etc.
The Alter Rebbes grandmother learned Gemara and taught her daughter to also.”
Can you supply sources for the claims made about Rashi and the Or Hachaim above. And, of course, I mean non-Lubavich sources?
As to the Baal Hatanya’s grandmother, would I be wrong in assuming that the source is the memoirs of the Rayatz? As I have shown in the past the stories cited there are allegorical and cannot be taken as cold hard facts. One other question, does the Baal Hatanya in Hilchos Talmud Torah refer to women learning Torah sheb’al peh?
“Please show me another leader invested in caring for every Jew to help them with their issues and needs.”
I apologize for what I’m about to say, but you are getting really annoying! What proof do you have that he cared about every Jew any more than any other tzaddik does? Because he said so? Because he put more effort into mivtzoim than others did, while at the same time allowing so many of his own youth to go OTD or to teeter on the precipice? That is, caring about broadening his fan base even though it meant that his own followers followed a diluted version of chassidus, as I have written in the past. (If you would be here now you would definitely see steam coming out of my ears!)
