CS: “I can take one example: your first one. “Worst tznius in Chassidic world.”
No. Just a different standard. The Rebbe asked us to dress like beis Yaakov. And I would say that the chassidishe women do dress that way.”
Then why do quasi-official chabad websites bemoan the lack of tznius in Crown Heights? The entire chareidi Jewish New York knows that the tznius in Crown Heights is worse than in any other chareidi area.
Then there are the other two problems that I pointed out that are connected to the tznius issue: unfiltered internet and the mixing of genders. Yes, there are some valiant people who try to fight the prevailing situation within Lubavich in these areas, but they are few and far between. It is a huge problem, and it is undoubtedly caused by “the rebbe wanted us to be open and mix with the outside world”. I think that that was one of his biggest mistakes.
CS, everybody who has ever discussed this matter with a lubavicher has heard the hints that you make – “You wouldn’t believe some of the disgusting things that go on in Satmar/Pupa/Belz/whatever, but I’d rather not talk about it!” – and some of the stories may be true Rachmana litzlan. There is a yetzer hara everywhere and human beings fall occasionally. But to cite that as an excuse for short skirts etc in Lubavihc all over the world. (I have already written that I have been in chabad houses in five continents and dealt closely with chabad chassidim in many countries.) If the Torah says be tzniusdik then you have to be tzniusdik regardless of what someone else does. Unfortunately, Lubavich worldwide is MUCH worse in this area than all other chareidi groups.
Furthermore, I believe there is a very simple truth which you are denying. Less tznius and more mixing of genders ALWAYS means more aveiros. If the stories you hint to about other more tzniusdik groups of chassidim are true, then there must be a greater number of similar stories in Lubavich.
