I told you who he is

What does it matter what his expertise is?

“Food for thought about tznius in chabad: 1) who exactly are you criticising? The fact that we don’t have a Rebbe cuz he would fix it, well in chabad we don’t tell the Rebbe what to do, it’s the other way around, this the obviously the kavanah (as hinted in the last maamarim and sichos)“

And this is why it’s a shame you don’t have a live rebbe because he’s not around to tell you what to do so your chassidus can’t fix it because he didn’t tell you to

“Ha, someone wrote Lubavitch headquarters on their kovetz! Again, complete ignorance about regular life in Lubavitch.“

Menachem,

It was from 770 I saw it a few weeks ago I know it was an official thing but I don’t remember EXACTLY how it looked

“CS probably meant the half/third of Lubavitch that isn’t meshichist (which does not mean they don’t believe the Rebbe is Moshiach, it means that they’re not obsessed with the idea). If anyone thinks that majority of Lubavitchers wear yechi yarmulkes or majority of Chabad kovtzim say yechi on them – they are plain ignorant.“

Menachem,

A third is a minority which means the majority are

Secondly the kovetz I saw was from Lubavitch headquarters

They said their rebbe was moshiach after he died?

In the words of qwerty (where has he gone?)

“What did your rebbi say on purim 1956 [or another one of those years] about the hazon ish ?“

“people can understand purim 1956 the way they want – out of context,“

So tell us the context

Cs,

“Not sure what you’re on about. This is basic math. The Alter Rebbe was Chabad Rebbe 1, so obviously the Rebbe is 7. What’s invented?“

What Arso is saying is that was there anyone before the rebbe that had this concept of “Dor shvii”? It seems not and you being a loyal chassid will accept whatever your rebbe says as fact

Now let’s say that a Rav in some city says that Moshoach is going to come from his city or was born to a lady named (insert his mothers name) so everyone should assume he’s moshiach you would say the guy is crazy

So to over here, if the rebbe made up this concept of Dor shvii and there’s nowhere where it says this (outside of his sichos) it’s the same thing

It’s shooting an arrow and drawing the target around it (which has been repeated a thousand times it just seems like you’re not understanding it)

Froggie,

Don’t put yourself down,

You have a lot of smart well thought out comments

Arso,

I thought Lubavitch now holds that moshiach can come from the dead which is why I said Rav Shach

GH,

I’ve heard from numerous yidden how trump is like Hitler ym”s (both on this site and outside of it)

So if you can’t take it don’t dish it out

(Was yechiel’s comment a mod edit directed at him or was it yechiel directed at me?)

both, but the part you saw was to him.

“if the rebbe wasn’t a gadal, who was?“

Rav Shach

“I honestly hope republicans keep on losing as well, I want the left to realize their dreams to the fullest extent possible so folks like you can finally see the truth.”

Lostspark,

By then it probably will be too late

Ctlawyer,

So to understand what you’re saying, cities can vote for their municipalities and make laws on who can irregardless to whether it can be done nationally because the constitution doesn’t mention it

I hope I understood it correctly, if so thanks for the American Law lesson

2cents,

Do you know otherwise

I’ve heard about it happening in Egypt too

“If Rishonim hold that it’s acceptable for a husband to beat his wife, how dare you write “it’s not only not effective but grossly harmful in our time”? That’s every bit as heretical as saying that Chazal didn’t know how to build cars or nuclear weapons!”

I was just having a discussion with my wife about parenting and I blame it all on feminism and TV

The Mishnah is sotah says “in ikvasa d’meshicha…. Chutzpah will be rampant a son will disgust his father a daughter will stand up to her mother etc” and I said that is was all do to the two things I mentioned

Those two things changed the psyche of people that made it that a father can’t hit his kids or his wife and therefore the family hierarchy is destroyed because women view themselves on equal level to the father and therefore kids devalue their parents

If you look at Arab countries where there is no feminism and tv only shows what they want the kids are way more obedient (cue the kids in Gaza)

Just my humble opinion, I’m sorry if I offended anyone

And to answer gadolhadofi that’s how people changed and it answers how the rishonim can know nuclear physics

Totally agree with gadolhadofi

It’s no different than democrats arguing with republicans the other party is wrong and we’re right

“He probably would think we’re all doing wrong, whether we’re here in the CR, or learning Tanya.“

Or he would be marveling in the fact that we’re here in the CR or learning Tanya as opposed to doing multitudes of assur things on the internet or in the street

You can’t judge yourself as opposed to earlier generations if the internet was around in the times of the gr”a who knows what would’ve been (especially with a stronger yetzer hara)

Regarding what Keith wrote that “who cares who moshiach is, as long as they keep the Torah knocking them is sinas chinam”

No one said we “Hate chabad” that if a Lubavitcher was drowning we would push him down and not save him, not even that we wouldn’t say “Hi” to them (or throw them out of a party (a la kamtza) what (mostly) everyone is saying is that chabad is fabulous except for the “rebbe is moshiach yechi” stuff which everyone else views as very dangerous and would like to save them from it

I wouldn’t be surprised is in the times of the tzedukkim and early notzrim they did the same

DaMoshe,

I don’t find it too distressing that they teach a “new form” as long as it’s “another way to serving Hashem” there were 12 shvatim going through their own path in the yam suf, no one said “my path is the only path”

Additionally we say שבעים פנים לתורה
