Reply To: Clarification to mod and DaMoshe

Arso,

“ I could handle your posts more if you would come out clearly and say, “They are wrong! I wish they would behave in a more appropriate manner. Furthermore they are giving Lubavich a bad name.” But you can’t say that because everything is so rosey in Lubavich.”

If you Ask me something specific, I can comment. Of course we have our issues, everyone does. I’ve just been educated that empowering and inspiring is the way forward. For example, a certain well known social media family aren’t the most Chassidish, but instead of seeing themselves as fryacks and veering more and more off course, they see their specific journey as a personal shlichus and imbue all their content with toichen. I admire that mindset. Im here too with the same kind of mindset, although certainly there are those that I know that would never chat on such a forum. I’ve received guidance in the past, and am acting on it. But I’m in giving mode.

Similarly, there are respected Chabad women on you tube and Chabad.org video, who lecture to mixed audiences as well. I’m sure they’ve spoken to a Rav for their situation, and I admire their light, although I haven’t posted videos publicly etc like them and would prefer not to.

Yiddishkeit is not a one size fits all. As long as every individual is looking to grow, we’re in a good place. And if they’re not, maybe I’m here to help them too. Etc.

With my daughter, I agreed that the woman who visited was not dressed up to par, for the sake of clarity, but then taught her how to view the positive. This is how we were taught and how we uplift and are uplifted. That’s how lubavitch can hold any kind of person under its umbrella.
