Catlover 613: “Chabad does have Seudas Shlishit in their shuls.”
Lubavicher chassidim DO NOT wash for Shalosh Seudos, and I was told by a mashpia in one of their yeshivos that to eat Shalosh Seudos “is a kula al pi chassidus”. And that is a quote.
“Not eating before davening is minhag, not Halacha.”
??? Are you, perhaps, a member of the Aseres Hashevatim? See Rambam Hilchos Tefilla 6:4 and Shulchan Aruch O”C 89:3.
“The Rambam holds that if one is hungry and can’t concentrate on prayer they should eat before they daven.”
And that is why ALL Lubavichers are taught that they should eat cake before Shachris, right?
“The Lubavitcher Rebbe encouraged men and women to learn Gemara.”
The “and women” is in itself problematic.
“According Sukkah 25b to Sleeping in the Sukkah is not required if it makes one uncomfortable.”
100% true. However, it does not exempt someone who is upset by the fact that he is ABLE to fall asleep in the sukkah! And that was the crux of the Lubavicher rebbe’s reasoning for not sleeping in the sukkah.
“Chabad does not believe the Rebbe would come back to life as Machiach.”
Which part of Chabad? Or are you referring to those who say he does not have to come back to life because he did not die?
“The Rebbe was against people who made such claims.”
Can you quote a primary source for that? I remember that when he died the Lubavichers in my area were distributing a copy of his handwritten emendation to a sicha in which he crossed out the phrase or word that said that Mashiach has to be someone who is alive.
