As is the rebbe’s custom every Chanukah, the Toldos Aaron Rebbe Shlita earlier this week visited with his chassidim in Beit Shemesh. Following the visit, someone(s) spread a rumor that during his annual visit, the rebbe instructed the chassidim to continue the battle in the community, referring to the controversy taking place between the chareidim and dati leumi residents, referring to the latter as the “modern day Hellenists”.
When the rumor hit Yerushalayim, officials in the chassidus released a statement that the reports are simply untrue and the rebbe never said such a thing to anyone, the weekly BaKehilla reports.

You really are crossing a line here. Most people probably did not hear this rumor about what the Rebbe may have said. Now they are hearing that whatever he may have said isn’t true. Based on what’s been going on people are going to believe what they want and since we don’t really know what the Rebbe did or didn’t say, because of you many people will be thinking and saying negative things about the Rebbe. As far as well all know he is a holy person and a Tzaddik. Its loshon hora, motzi sheim ra amongst other aveiros to insinuate negative things about a person. Its even worse when its a Tzaddik and a holy person. PLEASE TAKE DOWN THIS ARTICLE.
No surprise here.
Wackos are always attributing statements to gedolim that they never made.
Please ask a Shaila if you are allowed to post this article!
Sadly, due to the acts of certain elements in the Chareidi community, and the deafening silence of rabbinic leadership, the rebbe has little credibility outside his enclave.
Why didn’t he tell them to stop with the hate of fellow jews and start acting like real chassidim. Not just dressing like it.
the vilna gaon was right. Look how blindly out of control they are.
Another statement from the LEFT ?
#4, no rebbe or rav is accepted outside of his community. This is the crux of the problem – there is no Sanhedrin to declare what is Halacha and to enforce its pesakim whether machmir or meikal. Thus, every three Jews can declare themselves a bet din and take violent measures against other Jews. As a result, the secular authorities must step in and make order.
The Toldos Aron Rebbe’s derech has always been to accept all Jews and his home is open to all who wish to seek advice from either him or his rebbetzin. It is truly not like him to issue such a statement.
