Re mentsh1 praising what Lubavitch does in Chabad houses worldwide –
Yes. Fantastic! To be applauded loudly, and I do. But, as DaasYochid (I don’t really think you’re just a daas yochid here) points out, that has nothing to do with the discussion.
It was the last Lubavitcher rebbe who started the Chabad house movement and he deserves schar for every Yid who is helped in any way, whether in gashmiyus or ruchniyus. But perhaps he also gets some blame for all the strange statements and actions that are based on things he said and did.
