“as well as daatos nashim kalos hein”

Yes this is Torah. I naturally find the nitty gritty debate of oxen and people challenging and uninspiring (btw so does my brother but he has a chiyuv anyway and I don’t! And I learn Rambam perek echad so you are probably not clueless than I am on hilchos tumas moshav umerkav. I’ll be happy to be your first educated guess reference (I’m only on my first cycle) when Moshiach comes and you get stuck as a Metzora or other male illness which shall remain nameless currently and you’re in a panic. I learn a Halacha a day as well. Gemara ain’t everything and Tanya will do much more for some of the 6 mitzvos tmedios (assuming you know them like I memorised in chidon as a fifth grader).

Btw another true meaning is that women find it more kal to apply their learning to actual practice than men😊

Ard-

“CS- the rebbe told you to learn tosfos??”

I don’t know of a sicha specifically on Tosfos learning but the only learning I don’t do from the source is Zohar etc. I only look up references but even that is hard as I don’t own a copy yet. The Rebbe pushed for educated women such as myself and was very proud. I experienced culture shock with the condescension towards women in general and their intelligence in particular when I first came on this forum. Even the goyim know women can learn brilliantly any field/ better than men in school except in certain mathematics and sciences.

Coffee addict:

“Wow! It says in your Torah that you’re the best and everyone else is second class! I can’t believe it!

It sounds like another religion (which I posted on the other Chabad) or very cultish”

You misread me. I meant that if you open a likutei Torah with no preparatory background in Chassidus, you will be completely lost even if you know the whole Gemara by heart. You don’t need to be second class but if you wait until Moshiach comes you may use my services as a tutor assuming you’re female/ ruach hatumah and male YH eradicated.

I wrote posts for Menachem Shmei and for ujm. I don’t see them posted. Lmk if they aren’t posted and I guess I’ll try again (only positive stuff etc)

Ujm,
“CS:

How do you communicate with your Rebbe? How does the Lubavitcher Rebbe answer your personal questions and advise you on how to conduct yourself on very specific personal issues and questions you have on what to do?”

Great question. Primarily through learning his Torah and imbibing his values-also done through farbrengens and personal first hand stories of those lucky enough to meet. I also have a personal connection through such personal Rebbe related hashgocha protis, such as seeing a Rebbe video just upon exiting his room the day before my wedding and that split second the Rebbe was wishing a chosson from my non local city Mazal Tov on his wedding, receiving a Rebbe Dollar by random goral that all the participants randomly decided I should pick the name, just before we went on shlichus, Rebbe dreams, a Tanya inscribed to a shliach in my city gifted to me the day after an intense yud tes Kislev, the date on my shlichus dollar being the day a personal crisis turned around, innumerous iggros stories, weekly Living Torah videos that inform my week and mindset etc

Looks like I’m all caught up!! Yay for me. Any other questions? I don’t find questions offensive only Bizui Talmidei Chachamim. So feel free to ask away without apology. However I will only be able to answer questions that I know the answer to/ that are clear, short and to the point due to the limitations of this forum.

DY part 2:

“So they’re Amalek because they don’t think the rebbe is still alive?”

Part 2: because they know of the Dvar Malchus and still lack gaon Yaakov which is very often how the Jewish people find themselves in a mess (such as Israel etc).

BTW cvs to be condescending. I find the attitude of “I can’t be bothered to engage with benighted Litvaks” to be condescending. Every Jew is my sibling and therefore this endeavour is worthy of my time.

“What if a chasid spent his life learning sfas emes, Noam elimelech, keser Shem tov, kedushas levi, etc.

Is that chassidus?, will a Bobover understand Moshiachs Torah?!?

Do you not understand how ridiculously ignorant you sound when you say such things?”

They will definitely understand more, what’s unique about Chassidus CHABAD is that it brings G-dliness into human understanding and logic. So it is more suited to task…

“I apologized those in the coffee room apparently satan made me ask those questions to stave off the Geulah and because I want to create arguments in Chabad. I’m glad the shlucha has everything figured out for us lol!”

Hey, as The Rebbe The Tzemach Tzedek says, if the hat fits, wear it!

“cs- heres a pretty strightforward question (considering you havent actually answered any of the other ones). why doesnt chabad accept any other gedolim?”

What do you mean by accept? Chabad Bochurim in at least two locations I’ve lived in have happily volunteered to make the minyan for gedolim who wanted to daven in peace on vacation. We host them as well. We visit and are visited by them. We exchange sefarim. What’s your issue exactly?

Sure YB. Go ahead and bash my and my fellow chassidim without making one single substantive point. And as Chabad discussing is a constant thread in the beloved cr, I believe an exchange of knowledge is beneficial to both. Maybe not towards you though as you have nothing to add

Coffee addict, I’m glad we are in agreement that lost spark has lost the Torah spark

AAQ: thanks for the positive energy:)

Ard,

“you’re a girl who has never learned a gemara, let alone a tosfos etc. what the heck is going on here”

I’ve learned Gemara and tosfos with my Rebbes encouragement. I just have other learning priorities that I learn as a kvius. That said, logic is logic. If you have superior brains, just present it briefly like me:)

Joseph：

“CS: Do you mean, by this, that the average Joe is on a lower level than Lubavitchers? (But even so, they’ll still get the geula.)

Otherwise, why did you find it necessary to point out that non-Lubavitchers will get the geula?”

You got my reference to you. Well done. Without learning chassidus, non chassidim will need lots of tutoring to understand Moshiachs Torah. Since we are born with it and educated with it, it’s easier for Lubavitchers

DY

“Which beliefs do some fellow Lubavitchers have which, in your opinion, are caused by being infected with Amalek?”

They know exactly what The Rebbe says about this topic but are too ashamed to even sing yechi in their own shuls. That’s called walking around with the lights on, blind.

“@CS
Your logic about a picture being okay, but not on the eastern wall is faulty.
When I end my Kaddish, I back up three steps and end up praying to the south, east and then north. In Kabbalah Shabbat I turn to the west to welcome the Sabbath Bride I. The final stanzas of Lechs Dodi”

I get that. If I was a man. I’d take it up with the Rav. But then the side walls should still be fine

Philosopher:

“Why do you speaking ask ” As in instead of Hashem?”? That seems to be subterfuge to direct away from the question which should have a simple yes or no answer. Because you can believe the rebbe runs the world “with Hashem” too. I will rephrase my question. Do you believe the rebbe runs the world in any way?“

Ok let’s be clear. The Rebbe runs the world like Donald runs America.

“I have read chapter beis of the Tanya and I see no reference to the topic of “rebbes running the world” . The chaper speaks about the souls of Jews, how we connect to Hashem, and that “lowly Jews” can connect to Hashem through tzaddikim OF THEIR GENERATION. Which actually begs the question of how Chabad can ignore the teachings of their holy rebbe to connect to a tzaddik of THEIR GENERATION. This is one of the reasons why Chabad needs their rebbe to be physically alive in this generation which they claim he is…”

I’m honestly happy with your sincerity. So we connect to Hashem, both ways (up down, down up) through the neshamos of tzaddikim. The Rebbe is still the current Rebbe because he revealed that the mission of our/ his generation is to bring Moshiach and he gave us the tools to do it, soo we do. And we visit the Ohel/ 770 when we need more brachos/ koach. Hope this helps.

Warmly,

Chabad Shlucha

““they’re pretty close minded unfortunately. But they have the same sources as I do so I’m hoping they’ll actually learn how to read and think critically like me”

Maybe it’s the reverse.”

Sorry please elaborate

Ard,

The only apikorsim I’ve learned in Rambam are those who don’t await moshiachs coming everyday (along with those who deny Moshe as a Navi). Sincerely,
CS

I don’t know who elvis is so I cannot answer your q

Besalel

I like your simple honest q. Please address it to a Lubavitcher male as I am not familiar with those halachos.

Thanks. CS

Common saychel: I heard of Megilla gorilla from living Torah a few weeks back but I’ve never been familiarized with elvis

GadolHadorah

Aka hashgocha protis, I had no idea

Midwesterner I have tried but they’re pretty close minded unfortunately. But they have the same sources as I do so I’m hoping they’ll actually learn how to read and think critically like me
