Sam: Very, very cute.
One is in the direction of attaining Shleimus, gadlus, dveikus, comming closer to HaShem. As they originally coined the word Chossid, something extra, and additional something. One movement who produced giants, Ba’alei Ruach haKodesh, b’nei aliyah, ovdim, shleimim.
And the other is a breakaway, downward slope. And there’s NO DENYING THAT! Downward indeed.
Read Rabbi Miller’s ??”? very numerous works about this topic. Very convincing, easy to read. He, if anyone, had Sechel haYashar (not that he needed little me’s say so). And he’s had first hand knowledge of anything he tackled. And he wasn’t afraid to state it.
I don’t want to malign, disparage, put down etc. people or communities, but as a DERECH it’s TOTALLY WRONG. Yiddishkite is not about a contest to see how little one can hold and still be called a Jew (at heart). YiddishKite is about coming CLOSER to HaShem. Closer and closer.
Please have an Uplifting Shabbos.
