No, I’m not. But what does that have to do with anything. Are you a non-Chasid? Then you are no more qualified to comment than a Chasid. And most of Eastern Europe was not “Litvish” before Chasidus came around. If you want to say they were more like “Oberlander” we can talk, but they certainly weren’t “Litvish”. And they weren’t recruited. Yes, I know. R’ Leibele Eiger didn’t become Chasidush due to any recruitment.
