I believe that it is not a question that a yid must wear a yamulka. minhag yisroel torah hi. i know that the baal hatanya says that halachakly were a yamulka and you shouldnt walk 4 amos without it. i believe most others disagree.
This reminds me of a video title i once saw. it was called judiasim is not a proper religion. i thought that this guy is a kofer and he didnt believe in haveye. A week later i looked at the video and its the person explaining that a religion is when believing in Y makes you part Yism and if you dont your not part of yism. if you dont believe in hashem your still a yid. before i watched the video i automatically assumed he is a kofer it turns out he said something completely correct. (please dont turn the first part of this comment into a discussion it was just an example “dont marry the moshel”) Some non lbavitchers see a sentence pulled from the middle of tanya or a maamer or sicha and make stupid and incorrect asumptions without seeing the context of the quote. “you cant just focus on the content of the quote you also need to look at the context.” how many people here who think the baal hatanya is a kofer for writing such things actually know the context of the quote and actually understand what he’s talking about. Anyone who honestly thinks that the baal hatanya is a kofer should go jump in a lake because the fact is that he dedicated his life and was moiser nefesh for yidishkeit. for those that like to say that all lubavitchers are fanatics that think the rebbe is alive, they completly miss the context. i dont believe the rebbe is phisically alive, i know that the rebbes llegacly is still alive. there have been many big rabonim from the 20th century but a lot of their legacys are dead or forgotton. the lubavitchers rebbe legacy is not only alive now, but may i dare to say more alive then before he passed away. tens of thousands of people have become frum because of the lubavitcher rebbes shluchim ( as it says in brochas perek hey mishnah hey shliach shel odam kmoisai). Look at the context of what your trying to bash. btw there are a few wakos in chabad who are in the minority and the reason you know about them and not the majority of chabad is because normal people arent exciting but wakos who have stupid ideas excite you. most lubavitchers are normal. btw its not new that some non lubavitchers hate chabadniks for no readon, my great great grandfather was sent to siberia because a misnagid dobbed him in for teaching chasidus and he almost died there!
You missed the whole idea of an eved. The way I was brought up is that there are two types of servants, a servant who works to get paid, this is the more common servant. and then there is the true eved, the servant who is not serving for the schar but is serving because that is the kings rotzon. the eibershters rotzon is that we complete life and he gave us the guide to completing life, the torah. We should not keep torah for gan eden but rather because that is the eibershters rotzon. we are servants who are serving the eibershter because that is his rotzon and he is or melech. (I don’t know the details) there was once a story of the baal shem tov when a bas kol said that the baal shem tov is not going to receive olam haba. when people saw the baal shem tov they asked him why he was not only not frustrated or upset by the bas kol but on the contrary he was in a joyous mood. the baal shem tov responded “until now maybe i was just serving the eibershter for the sake of Olam Haba, but now that i wont receive olam haba I can now serve the eibershter lishmo and not for the schar of olam haba.
