Also the medina exists now as a HUGE settlement of Jews…so whether you like it or not it’s a metzius…and therefore the reality has changed since the time of the Frierdige Rebbe…and the Rebbe’s shitta reflects that…
To the comment above which claimed the Rebbe “went against” the previous Rebbeim R”L…that’s not how chassidus CHaBaD works…the current Rebbe can mold the shitta as he is the current leader of chassidus CHaBaD, and is therefore the one currently dealing with the reality of the situation…
