“And this is not the only case I know like this. It happens many times in my community.”
I would like to add: A Lubavitcher relative of mine is a chosheveh rov in a community which has in the shul many litvishe, chassidishe mispalilim, alot of chassidishe Rebbes and Rosh yeshivois which come to the community and daven there time to time. One time one chosheveh Roshe Yeshiva comes over to the rov after his speech on devrei Torah, dvar halochoh and hashfoh, and tells him “your not a real Lubavitcher”.
It seems to me personally, that the it’s the first time he heard a Lubavitcher speak, and was so impressed of his geoinois, so he had to justify all the loshen horoah he heard on Lubavitche, and tell him that he is not a real Lubavitcher, “because obviously Lubavitche is kerum……”
I’m cs”v not trying to put down the rosh Yeshiva, I actually know who he is, and I respect him for his Torah. He just was brought up in a community that black lashes Lubavitche, so the rovs speech took him by surprise, so he had to justify his up bringing.
It’s normal, very possible I would do the same, (whether it’s right or wrong).
But you get the idea.
There is a lot more I could say especially since I live in a non Lubavitche community, and happen to daven in some litvishe yeshivois. But will stay quiet for now.
The point why I’m bringing this, is to respond to people that intend to put down Lubavitche.
For some reason there is a lot of loshen horoah going around bad mouthing Lubavitche, whatever it takes to put them down, they will deny anything which doesn’t fit with their mitzius, even to say that the Rebbe is not a tzadik, not a Bal ruach hakodesh, not a Bal moifis, not a talmid chochom, etc. even though thousands of people from chassidish to litvishe, to not frum, say straight out eidus publicly the miracles the Rebbe did for them personally, and conversations they had with the Rebbe that he was a boki in torah.
I don’t think that I’m better then the rest of the world, there is a lot of erlichech yeddin, talmidei chachomim, yerie shomayim, that are far better then me.
The only thing Lubavitche is saying is, that we have something to offer to the rest of the world, something that we were just lucky to get, which is chassidus/chassidus chabad, and we are here to gives to everyone else, which is moisf das be’eloikus, etc. gives you clarity on yeddishkeit, why hashem created the world, why did Hashem give us the torah, why did he pick neshomois Yisrael, from where we come from and to where we are heading to. So that you could true oyvid Hashem.
It’s this why we go and spread chassiddus, and go on shlichus, etc.
And that is why the Rebbe was welling to help anyone which came and ask for a brocha no matter for which background to come from, no matter of he was the Rebbes chossid or not he was here to help you, even though it took a lot of time, and took up a lot of nights sitting with people in yechidus, and guess what he didn’t charge a cent for it, on the contrary he gave you money to give to tzdakah.
And also nowadays people come to the ohel and ask him for brochois. I was just there a few days ago, and I see chassidish, litvishe and non frum go to the ohel to ask the Rebbe for brochois, day and night.
So Lubavitche is here to help yeddin not to promotes them selves. Like the Rebbe said which ever way you can poiel another yid to do other mitzvah if it’s through mentioning his name or not, doesn’t make a difference, you should do it,
And besides that, the reason why the beis hamikdash was destroyed was for sinas chinom, and the same with talmedei Reb Akiva, they wore focusing on the bed in another person and not focusing on the good, lacking in ahavas Yisrael. And the way we build the beis hamikdash is through ahavas Yisrael.
If you think you are better then Lubavitche (it’s doesn’t bother me) then pick yourself up, don’t put someone else down.
(This is all hypothetical e that your tayinos are true. Which I don’t agree with, but I’m try to get to the core of the problem.)
All these vibes that put down Lubavitche, cause individuals to think the same, and they grow up knowing in back of their heads that Lubavitche is terrible. I live in a non Lubavitche community and unfortunately I see too often. (I’m not accusing everyone for this, everyone individual can take what applies to himself.)
You can at least treat us the same as everyone else.
But people just like to put down Lubavitche till even a book comes out and websites bad mouthing Lubavitche.
We don’t deny your Roshe yeshivois or rabbeim (even though we might not agree), so why do you have the urge to deny our rabbeim???
Again If you’re really sincere and you have a question you can learn the subject and ask rabonim of Lubavitche for answers. Don’t just mock everything and come up with conclusions.
Sorry if this came out harsh in any way.
