“Chasidim zeinen ein mishpocho”
Chasidim are one family.

Kivoid Raboi kodmin.

A Chasidishe Chinuch instills Toiroh, Halochoh and Hashkofoh, including Chasidus and Hiskashrus to the Rebbe in their Talmidim.
There’s no way around it.

Amoraim, Rashi, Rambam, Abarbenel, Rabbeinu Bechaye, The Chasam Sofer as well as a myriad of others throughout Torah tradition from the ancient past through the present set a basis for this Hashkofoh.

#11 Shmoe #16,17,19 responded to your misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with right wing but with common sense.

When I went to school, the Rebbe was alive. Then, yechi was an integral part of the chassidus and theology of Chabad. The Rebbe is no longer with us, of course, so to instill the idea of yechi into our children is repugnant, and yes, avoda zara. The children should learn how the Rebbe lived and what he taught and how the world is much less holy without him in it. His memory should be honored. Yechi is a disgrace to the Holy Rebbe’s memory and the way he lived his life so much in the real world, not in one of fantasy and myth.

This yechi stuff and similar moishichist meshugaas has been going on since the last Rebbe was niftar and a decision was made not to replace him with one of several highly respected Lubavitch rabbonim. While it would be nice to have a new rebbe, if doing so would create the kind of ongoing chilul hashem we’ve seen among the Satmar after the last rebbe was niftar, maybe its better to have a few dysfunctional yeshivish guys running around Eastern Parkway waving yellow flags and a few misguided Mechanchim singing Yechi. I’ll take that any time over the Zalman versus Aron mud-wrestling show.

Chaim- don’t you think that’s a bit of an overreaction? Since when is believing in the wrong Mashiach avodah zarah? Since when does it make you a kofer, apikores, and make your wine posul? They might be wrong… but don’t get carried away.

Not sure how this makes sense?

Parents voluntarily send their children to a Chabad Yeshiva and then question if the Yeshiva should teach “Yechi”?

What did I miss here?

Yank your kid out of that school and run the other way as fast as you can and don’t look back. His future as a frum yid is at stake. Yechi=Fringe messianic and far from mainstream yiddishkeit.

If someone sends their child to a Catholic school, why do they protest when their child is taught Catholicism? Sending a child to a school without first checking out what type of school they are sending their child to shows a complete lack of common sense or responsibility.

If you don’t like the “Yechi” why are you sending your kids to a school where it is recited?
