Leading up to Gimmel Tammuz
This article appeared in the Jewish Week (from New York) and is a sad reminder that the Rebbe is no longer with us physically. Click here for the article.
I can't understand the rediculously low level that some people have stooped to. This is definatly NOT what the Rebbe wanted to happen, regardless of peoples different opinions. We should all follow what the Rebbe wants from us, AHAVAT YISROEL. Love Your Fellow Jew. Lets all get back to basics, and through this bring Moshiach NOW!!!
Agudas Chasside Chabad have been putting up a brave struggle all these years against the fanatical elements in Chabad, but all they can hope for is damage control. The Yechniks (especially the more fanatical ones) have done irreparable damage to the reputation of Chabad. Chabad used to be loved by almost everyone in the Jewish world (outside the other frum groups) before the fanatics made us all look like we were out of touch with reality. Their irresponsible actions gave Chabad bad PR Chabad, especially 770, lost tons of support, both financial and otherwise. One can only hope the movement survives all this and those brave Chabadniks who are keeping cool rational heads and holding the fort both in 770 and elsewhere will prevail.
The Meshiachists preach that all of Chabad the Rebbe is still alive the only difference is one of marketing! This is simply not true. Many do not hold that the Rebbe ZT"L is alive but can't be bothered to argue and be hassled by fanatical Meshiachistim. The main thing is the world should see that Chabad promote Mitzvos and Torah rather than "The Rebbe is Mashiach". Many frumer backpackers don't go to the Israeli Chabad of Dudu as the Yechi campaign their is to intense and puts the serious ones of. The others just laugh and enjoy a good meal.
Most normal intelegent kids will not believe the Rebbi is alive so when a parent or teacher try to teach them this important 'principle' in yiddishkeit and they don't buy it why should they believe the rest they are taught like we must keep shabbos, eat kosher etc.?
The YECHI nutters have done more to push our kids off the derech than anything else. They do not educate Yiddishkeit, they indoctrinate with ideology instead. Lots of kids walking around here looking like goyim and acting like goyim but they scream YECHI!
