“Just wanted to sincerely ask as someone who knows a lot about chabad and has spent unfortunately too much time in crown heights, why is it ok to stop in middle of davening kabbalas shabbos to Hashem, in the middle of lecha Dodi, to start jumping up and down fervently and sing yechi adoneinu for TEN minutes at the top of your lungs towards the Rebbes chair in 770!”
Firstly it’s not in the middle, it’s afterwards until tzeis:) let’s be accurate here.
“Quite honestly would you do that if you truly saw the Rebbe in front of you? Do you think he would wave you on?”
Well quite honestly, the frenzy of Yechi was really after the stroke and yes the Rebbe did wave them on…
Would I personally? No but I’m in a different generation and once Moshiach comes there won’t be a need so it’s really irrelevant. The chassidim started the whole Yechi singing for long periods of time when the Rebbe had the stole because they thought maybe this would break through this heelem vhester and then the Rebbe could be revealed as Moshiach once and for all. Unfortunately, they really missed the whole point of famous koach Nissan sicha, where the Rebbe was so upset… But that’s for another time. But it seems that’s why gimmel tammuz happened. Anyhow…
“I don’t care that it’s meschichist tzfatim, this goes over the line and it’s happening in front of your eyes.”
Yeah I use the extra time to say my chitas or catch up to the minyan. Seriously, do you want me to tell at them from the ladies section?? And anyhow they don’t listen to anyone
“The Rebbe at one point even scolded people looking at him during davening and was very emotional about it.”
What does this have to do with singing Yechi in between parts of davening?
“And you dare to pull this off in middle of davening!”
Most of us roll our eyes the first time, but then we get used to it and learn a sicha or something. Anyhow these are the bochurim who get violent for the most part so I wouldn’t advise you to yell at them. That’s what the court case is all about apparently, stuff like that
