If a chassidishe court is dishing out millions/tens of millions annually to the sick, the poor, etc, what difference does it make if the Rebbe saves $500 on his coat? Or even $5000 on his son’s wedding? That’s a drop in the bucket compared to what they’re giving. If someone gives like they’re supposed to, obviously they should be allowed to enjoy the rest of the fruits of their labor.
I’m not even sure what to say to some of these comments. This thread is making the entire Litvishe velt look like a petty, jealous joke (which we are not).
