I can vouch for CT lawyer. In my basement there is a closet that leads to the land of Narnia. I once went in to the closet to pick out my favorite shirt and landed in a pile of snow with a witch and a lion staring me down. Also there is a window which can teleport me to Mars so I stay away from it. When switching on the circuit breaker a rainbow appeara which leads me to a pot of gold. We too, have railroad tracks and an active train runs in twice a day with extra supplies to brew beer just like at the Coors factory. And we don’t really need to spot wildlife, since we share the space together.
I mean what can you do, not everyone has a nice finished basement. Some of us just deal with these conditions.

Isn’t far Rockaway the 6th town?

Yes Neville you are wrong. There was no editing. I also noticed shluchas comments sitting there for longer than mine. There are different mods on the forum and so far yes all my comments have gone through.
Neville just because I don’t answer all your questions doesn’t mean I can’t, I just choose not to waste too much time on hypocrites.
Shlucha- sorry if the truth hurts. How about you look at some chabad sites, not only col, check the ugly biased articles and hateful comments and then you will understand. And ya the only reason certain litvishe rabbis make it to col is if chabad claims them as “friends of lubavitch”. But on the other hand if you’ll check previous articles, you will see them writing articles about the Gedoilim saying they are very old and their mind isn’t right so you cannot believe what they say, or refer to a Gadol as “that guy” who didn’t reply good shabbos to her son while he was on mivtzoim. And there are many other made up scenarios to incite hate and forward the agenda.
At this point it doesn’t matter, I’m sure you’ve exposed more of what you wanted regarding your mentality on the previous threads and everyone caught on to it including the mods.
The other reason I stand out is because I speak from experience and point things out which are very true. If you ever want, I can send you links to all these articles and comments. And yes they do speak for most lubavitchers, since this rhetoric is used outside of websites as well. But hey, I’m not here to convince you, you know it better than I.

@shlucha- as I said before I certainly do not take issue with chabad minhagim and definitely not with the Rebbe. Quite the contrary. I dont care if you quote chassidus and I understand that you want others to believe your ways. One of the issues when you or any other lubavitcher tries to “teach” someone chabad torah, they do it in such a way as to belittle everyone else and to persuade you and “prove” to you, why their Torah way is the correct one. Thats why it bothers me. And no, it wasnt just some lubavitcher that “offended” me, it is the general nowadays lubavitch mindset. Just check any chabad website, and I can give you links for any of this to back it up, just yesterday I saw various articles on various chabad sites, and such vile hatred in the articles and comments. You know what, dont expect me to learn from a lubavitcher, when they freely refer to the GR”A as “eliyahu from vilna”! Or put yimach sh’mo for Rav shach and say that he has “faded away”, or laugh at the Chazon Ish comparing him to a little lubavitch kid learning Tanya that they are on the same level! Or an article on Maran Shteinman Zt”l writing that he was old and the mind wasnt right? And writing thats the difference between a Rav and a Rebbe.
The list goes on and on how regular low lives think they can mock and say whatever they want on litvishe Gedolim and other Chassidishe Rebbeim, This is what the problem is. Check any chabad site and look at comments which will speak for themselves. And when almost all the comments are similar, you cannot give the excuse that its only individuals. The fact that the sites even publish those articles and approve those comments is disgusting. This is also daily talk in crown heights, farbrengen, shabbos table, etc.
And I ask you to show me just ONE other group that acts the same way. There are none. Even Satmar which is very extreme is closer to Litvishers and everyone else than chabad is. Why all the hate? Enough already.
And I am not hateful for pointing these things out. And I am not saying its “every” lubavitchers mindset, but yes, most. It made me sick to my stomach seeing those comments and articles which I only gave a mere few examples of.

@neville-well, since “you” are not familiar then it must mean noone is. I forgot that you know everything, I should have scaled it based on your familiarity.

Besides, Not once did I attack anyone in that comment. I was just stating facts and if the truth hurts then it does. And you know what, I really dont need to see what you had to say about any Gadol Hador since on the chabad websites you can find enough articles on Litvishe Gedoilim with many “nice” comments putting the respectful title of “yimach sh’mo” before they write his name that get easily approved onto the site. So am I hateful for pointing these things out! If so, then I guess I’m just a hateful person.

And that’s all well and good that you only stay within your own mindset, except for the fact that you get offended if/when other dont mention chabad sources, claim that it proves everyone hates you, non stop bashing of others/misnagdim by your farbrengens and shabbos tables as if it’s a mitzvah to do so, and use the fact that others were happy for rubashkin being released as a “proof” that everyone needs chabad. Why always make everything about yourself is my question? There is no other yiddishe group that does that. And why all the hypocrisy? For example even the menorah in 770 by the chazan had round branches in the earlier years and there are pics and videos. So why campaign against everyone as if it’s the difference between eating kosher or treif? Can you not understand there are 70 panim l’Torah and Elu v’Elu divrei Eloikim Chaim! I am not trying to attack or stir anything I wish there would be complete achdus that is why I care so much. But how could there if you separate yourselves from klal yisroel, believe that your way is the right way (which is fine) but also the ONLY way for everyone else as well. And please don’t try to convince me otherwise since I speak from experience and I also pointed many things out on previous comments

@shlucha-I will ignore bituls comment since he should first consider curbing his own attacks which were quite clearly displayed on other threads where even moderators had to step in and warn him about attacking Gedolim.
I’m not out to attack lubavitch at all. There are just certain attitudes that sometimes need to be addressed. Btw did you only start learning hayom Yom? You seem too educated to skip a basic daily learning.
In general I know that from conversations I’ve had or heard with lubavitchers, they will sometimes toss up a subject and pretend they just heard about it in order for others to sort of accept what they have to say, rather then doing it in a way as if they are coming to teach you. If you want to know why I am upset at certain things you can read my previous comment/threads, look at articles on col including their hateful comments which get approved much easier than on YWN, or hear daily talk in crown heights.

Shlucha- either you are really naive or just pretending not to have heard of these things so that others will accept it. I’m sure you heard all of these ideas since it is basic chabad talk.
“Also I’ve heard the holocaust being referred to as chevlei moshiach, could that be gog umagog too?”
-I wonder where you happened to “hear” that since that is a chabad opinion. It also happens to be a very “clear” opinion. You also mention jacobson who is a chabad Rabbi so that pretty much strengthens the fact that you are spreading around chabad views of the matter. I have no problem with it but why act as if you “happened” to hear something when it’s obvious all these ideas come from within your own derech.
Regarding that opinion I also urge to check what the Ben Ish Chai had to say about it. I think there was a similar view actually.
Also aren’t gog and Magog actual Kings that will fight one another?
Let’s say the current events unfolding are as if Trump (EDOM) tries to get a piece of Jerusalem, do you think everything will happen this quietly and no big wars? Also isn’t gog to be killed and buried in Israel?

That’s old news. Are you really claiming to have just found out about that sicha or just a smooth way introduce it to this forum?

Neville- check the Aish article regarding Moshe Rabbeinu. Also check other reliable Jewish sources. They are pretty easy to find on this topic.
It could be a thing in middle eastern areas since thats where it originated? Thats where bnei Yisroel came from? And if taken from Jews by Islam then it all makes sense since they were living in the same areas?
Besides its likely a Kabbalistic thing.

I’m pretty sure it’s not avodah Zara especially since these things are sold at some of the holiest sites in Israel. Probably Rabbonim and ones in charge of maintaining the sites wouldn’t allow it since they do have control over these things and what is sold there. Besides, before speaking about something you know nothing about do some research and check aish or other sites to see what they have to say about it.

@satmarboy-why even bring this up most people havent heard of this.

I just learned chumash right before nittel chazos! Yes! no bittul Torah here.

@daasyochid- why do you dispute it to be a significant day for jewish people? Look at the achdus no?
