“So says Chabad doctrine. Many others claim the Rebbe (and some say even the Frierdike Rebbe) made unacceptable changes. Al zeh gufo anu danin.”
DY what is your point? First of all, I’ll have you know that the Frierdiker Rebbe was the only son of the Rebbe Rashab, abd was the menahel of his father’s Yeshiva while his father was still Rebbe. So it seems like some people didn’t like something the Frierdiker Rebbe said and so said he made unacceptable changes. Meanwhile your haven’t quoted one person or one instance. But ok. Let’s assume this is true.
So what are you doing asking for clarification? Even if let’s say, your Gadol said not to follow the Rebbe’s shita on certain matters, why would you think its acceptable to tell me that my Rebbe isn’t a good enough source for me? If toy dont follow the Rebbe’s shita, stay out of the discussion.
That’s like me telling a Satmar chossid that he shouldn’t listen to his Rebbes shita on how to treat zionism because my Rebbes shita differs. Excuse me who asked you? I didn’t ask you if I should be litvish or Chabad. You asked me for sources on something the Rebbe said. Which I provided.
That’s the discussion here. If you don’t like it. Don’t comment. If you want to learn, you’re welcome to comment. And even if say, that is the shita of your gadol, it doesn’t give young the right to decide on the Rebbe’s greatness as you are nothing compared to him. As am I. The most you can do is quote your gadol but that’s not the discussion here and I would not be privy to such a discussion on any case as I’m not interested in analysing machlokes of gedolim nor is it my place.
