@ChabadShlucha,
“There are non Chabad chassidus sefarim but as it is not written in Chabad fashion, you would need to learn Chabad chassidus to understand that too. ”
Is that a typo? If they’re not written in Chabad fashion, why would you need to learn Chabad Chassidus to understand it?
Maybe you mean that one enhances the understanding of the other. The Rebbe certainly quoted the Kedushas Levi and the Noam Elimelech. I’ve heard from people who learn both, that you can gain alot more depth in say a Kedushas Levi with the background of Chabad Chassidus.
@Slonimer,
“So, the short and sweet of it, a Brisker, a Gerrer and virtually every other frum Yid would be wise to become a Lubavitcher.”
Well, I personally wouldn’t have written this, I don’t see what you gain by it. However now that it was written, do you really find it so surprising that a particular group feels that they are special and unique? I’m sure a Belzer Chossid feels that Belz is the most special Chassidus, and a Vizhnitzer will tell you that his is the greatest.
If I didn’t think my Chassidus was so special, even more than all the others, then why would I be a Lubavitcher? (Or Belzer or whatever).
In the Oilom Hayeshivos, if I learned in Mir, it’s probably because I felt it had the most to offer, or it’s Roshei Yeshiva were the most special.
