Reply To: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us!

Neville I actually appreciated the chofetz chaim referenced. What I didn’t appreciate was the lack of equal treatment to the Rebbe. But definitely good to have sources from all over the spectrum.

As far as what I wanted to get out of this thread etc.:
I more some people enjoy threads that are confrontational and bash, where there is a winner and loser. But not me. I like finding common ground with other yidden (which is why I frequent here to begin with), seeing exactly where we agree, where we disagree and coming out with a broader knowledge of klal Yisraels (kosher obviously) hashkofos (even if I may not hold of some for myself which is fine. There were 12 shvatim, all equally valid.)

I wouldn’t for example start a thread based on “neville please explain why three of my brothers have personally experienced litvishe bochurim coming in to their Yeshiva/ shul just to mock them that they don’t know gemara?” Even though those episodes were quite ridiculous and the Lubavitcher boys bested those boys who didn’t know their own gemara. And we don’t do likewise etc. Because such a thread would be based on division and who looks better, not collaboration.

To be continued…
