“The very comparison is just absurd…Chabad, whether you agree or not, is based on a Mesorah from the Ba’al haTanya”
Maybe the Chabbad that SH is referring to. But it seems to me that the chabbad (or lack thereof) of TamimTihiyu has more in common with neo christianity. The fact that it claims a basis in Mesorah / Chassidus doesn’t make it so any more the Helbrans making the same claim. Would you also claim that NK is based on Mesorah from the Satmar Rebbe? Shall Gehazi claim Mesorah from Elisha and Yashka Mesorah from Shimon HaPikuli?
