Lesschumrah- the reason for anyone wearing small brims was because it was cheaper and the wide brims were considered more expensive hats. Today it’s the opposite, and yes the small brims are more modern, although many have adopted it since it is in style. But if you ever want to know the litvishe minhag, see what Roshei yeshivas qnd many other litvishers wear it is a bigger brim with a high crown.
joseph- you werent there and you are only trying to stir up peoples emotions. It was obvious in your comment in the original article and obvious now as well.
In addition noone said anything about harshness. The word of the day was “hatred”. And no, I did not spread any hatred no matter how much the factual truth hurt. I actually dared sechel to point out even one thing in any of my posts that wasn’t true. I am still waiting. And I have sources for all and obviously links weren’t allowed to col website or others which I tried posting as proof. On the other hand I have been able to point out and have others agree with me or write very similar things sometimes even harsher than mine, so that must count for something doesn’t it mod -100?
-100 mod you are not the only moderator here and I’m not only discussing this thread. You must be one of the chabad biased mods that was filling in. Besides, none of my posts here were deleted and in fact like sechel said, I didn’t post so much to begin with. I stopped once the thread was looping around itself like a ferris wheel. But good attempt at trying to make me look bad mod-100. It seems you weren’t around this thread enough to even keep track of my postings.
Now let’s see if you have the courage to let this post go through.
Sechel hayashar- if we count all your posts which were deleted, not published, and warnings you received from the mods, I’d say you beat us all with the hatred spreading. But obviously there’s always someone else to blame for your actions. Much easier that way.
I do not recall any of Seichel Hayashar’s posts needing to be deleted due to harshness, and if there were some, they would certainly seem to be fewer than yours. -100
And?
You cant daven in front of a picture. In 770 though they put pictures of the Rebbe and the Alter Rebbe when they prepare for farbrengens on their holidays. These are huge banners and they are not placed by the Aron Kodesh rather on the side of the shul which is actually the first thing you see when you enter (for those who know the setup). And it is there for several days while people daven. I pointed it out once to a chabad friend while I was there, an he shrugged “ya its not ideal but its there”. I have no idea how they let it through but if you want to see it for yourself go there before these specific dates.
Uber_Chacham- source please sounds interesting.
Old minhag litvish huge, Modern orthodox smallest as can get, everyone else in between
Why daven in a stairwell got to a room or something
GadolHadorah- Not true, there have been some sightings Iv’e heard personal accounts. Mostly in that brooklyn area though. Once in India as well.
“These shlichim dedicate their lives to helping yiden.”
-So do many other Jewish organizations. Its their job. Many dont even expect a thank you or any other recognition.
There are also many who do it out of pure chessed and are so humble that that at most youll only hear of their name.cant believe the mods let you use that word of profanity
I also bless the men from the neighboring offices who organize mincha and also a later maariv minyan everyday so that we can all daven with a minyan. Such mesirus nefesh, Kidush Litvish! Kidush MO businessmen!
“If it’s not a legitimate Minhag, I wouldn’t do it, but I don’t think it’s problematic in any way.”
-IF?lol mods i hear that! To be honest it really does bother me since I wish there could be full achdus amongst all of us. Not just everyone but one group. I say it from the heart.
You have posted this same content over and over and over. Please move on. For the sake of your own health and growth. – 29
I get it, lets see if we can get an answer
iacisrmma- yes but you can try the best you can on the most significant items and those you know for sure have a link to their nazi past.
Arielski- Who asked for forgiveness? Even those old war criminals who apologized did it to get less of a penalty. Monsters who commited such acts have such a deep hatred rooted inside of them that their apologies are worthless.Its true that most companies/people might hate jews but if one of the companies blatantly admits to it, would it make it less comfortable to buy their products? Do you really need to drive a volkswagon, or a mercedes or buy an IBM?
Toi- “and the Cunin video. ”
-Are you referring to “that everyone will soon know that its the Rebbe who runs the world”
What exactly bothered you in that statement?Why should the lubavitch image be of any more signifance than anyone else’s image. Yet noone else uses that term about themselves. Usually Yodden just say chilul Hashem because the “PR” for Hashem is of the only importance to them.
samthenylic- Dont waste your time, Im sure theres a “rational” explanation for everything,
zahavasdad and all those who make a mockery of boycotting nazi y”s origin companies. Its isnt a joke, there is good reason not to buy from these companies as some have direct lines to the ss. All you fancies out there who feel you are above everyone and purchasing “hugo boss” just remember that he was of the nazi party and also designed their uniforms which they wore when they ruthlessly murdered your families. And all those driving german cars because you feel the need, just remember that hit–r himself yimach shemo vezichro had a hand in creating and naming the volkswagon company. Siemens (also a german company) recently tried launching the “zyklon” vacuum cleaner and after an uproar they mentioned they had no idea about the zyklon gas used to exterminate jews and did not even apologize for the “coincidence”.
There is a long list of these companies who not only have an anti jewish past,but some even continue to this day. Even Ford which makes you think of such an american company, the founder henry ford was a ruthless anti semite, great supporter of the german leader, and even travelled to germany for a photo shoot receiving the highest medal given to a foreigner by the ss.
Its true that there may be many companies out there who arent fond of yidden, but they dont come close to this. These companies were actually used and proactively volunteered to destroy us.
Still funny?@Bubbyo “I know that Chabad learns Rambam, so I don’t really understand what they do with this.”
-Its very easy to pick,choose, and twist to your liking. Especially with years of experience.@Shlucha-“Or maybe they were asking for a Bracha?”
-So that makes it ok then?When you are not confident or confused with who you are and what you believe, you constantly feel the need to defend and attack. It is interesting that noone else feels a need to defend themselves or attack every other Jew on this planet or in the next world. And if you tell me that most Jewish groups dont get attacked by others, it isnt totally true and the reason chabad gets attacked the most is because they bring it upon themselves by proactively bashing other Yidden behind the scenes in their “pep” talk gatherings and telling other Yidden how chabad is right and they are wrong, and that all need to follow the lubavitch way.
If you would just keep to yourselves without opening up chabad centers in the most litvishe neighborhoods, complain about how there was resistance to it, and try to influence everyone to follow you, most likely your problem wouldnt exist. Its also funny how you complain about the fact that it was so hard to get a chabad center in lakewood which im totally not sure why thats necessary other than to try to inflitrate (didnt know lakewood to be such a lubavitch community). Its funny because im just imagining what kind of H— would be raised in crown heights if someone had the idea to build a Young Israel there which btw many would go to, seeing how the Carlebach Ahavas Yisroel on Albany Ave is overflowed with crown heights residents(which is totally looked down upon in crown heights and they dont have an easy time).
Also they forget in crown heights that around 50 years ago, the place was basically a flatbush/boro park with all types of YIdden and chabad was the total minority until most Yidden moved away.So basically its ok for you to barge into everyone elses neighborhoods but CV”S if anyone enters yours it might be too much “competition”, “they will lower us down”, “why is everyone trying to destroy lubavitch!” Just accept that everyone follows their own and not everyone is trying to be convinced by your “inspiring” 5 words of chassidus when you meet them.
No 5ish nebach, you asked him to pass you the ketchup, you didn’t daven to him for it. There’s a difference. When it comes to davening, we daven direct to Hashem and noone else. Don’t know how it goes by you guys but our mindset is different.
Lol, always an excuse for everything.
Enough of bashing all the other Yidden outside chabad. I wonder what mod is sitting in letting comments through making it sound that all is true since some hateful people comment on their “observations” of litvishe bochurim.
I wonder how many faults there are in chabad that none of these zealots will ever mention, only point fingers at everyone else. Take these previous comments for example, when a lubavitcher has what to say about everyone else it’s ok but when someone answers back and puts them in their place then they are hateful.
But because some nobody claims what they want, then noone is allowed to answer back! That’s not how it works.Sechel haakum- and I’m the one spreading hate! Haha. You know how many lubavitchers I observed sitting in yeshiva with shorts! I was surprised when I for the first time saw a lubavitcher wearing a black hat and jacket I didn’t know it was customary by their bochurim.
Hml was smart bringing up the bochurim being tznius since if he brought up the women the argument would have ended right then and there.hml-“They daven every day. Before bed, they daven, learn RamBam (I am talking about pre-bar/bat mitzvah) say Krias Shema etc. ”
-Interesting, who knew chabad chinuch was so much better than everyone elses? Daven every day? I cant believe those Litvaks never thought to be mechaneh their kids to daven “every” single day! Thanks for that crazy suggestion maybe they should try it.
Oh they learn Rambam? Dont Litvish kids learn Seforim of Gedoilim? Btw was the Rambam the only Lubavitcher sage of the past? Couldve fooled me since it seems you only learn Rambam while the rest of the world learn not ONLY Rambam, but also GR”A, Chofetz Chaim, Chasam Sofer and so on. But I guess its better to limit yourself to one book.
Krias Shema? Who does that anymore? Isnt that out of style? Why would anyone want to teach their kids to say krias Shema unless they are chabad?“They are all tzanua, no matter the temperature.”
-Ill assume your only referring to bochurim, then shkoyach for being “tzanua” in hot temperatures since litvishe bochurim usually just slap on a tank top and shorts in the summer without tzitzis as they sit and learn in Yeshiva right?“They are just as happy with clothes from Target as many kids are from the fanciest stores in Boro Park or Monsey…or Lakewood.”
-lolI mean “thats the difference between us and them” right? Isnt that your favorite line?
Night shift? Ever heard of Batman?
Joseph, I’m not sure you quite understand me. I referred specifically to ice cream without a spoon.
Is it ok to eat ice cream in public without a spoon?
I was once by a chasunah, a BT who followed a certain “chassidus” and the girl was MO. When the chosson and kallah sat together to “keizad merakdim” one of the “chassidic” rabbi left the room stating, “it’s not our minhag” and it can potentially lead to “pritzus”. I just shook my head.
