>>>There is NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER regarding a Rav , Rebbe or R’Ys Shitah re Chabad , when it comes to their theology because of 2 reasons…
I assume that you are referring to the Rav Hutner discussion, which you are taking completely out of context.
I was not trying to say that Rav Hutner holds of Lubavitch. Frankly, it makes as much of a difference to me as it would make a difference to you if the Lubavitcher Rebbe holds of Rav Hutner.
The correspondents of Rav Hutner was brought in response to avira’s post:
“And i was waiting for someone to mention putting on tefillin once as an example of returning jews to Torah. It isn’t. Because, as rav hutner explained, the rishonim are clear that in order for a mitzva to count, even according to the opinion that mitzvos don’t require kavanah, one must believe in their existence and be aware of their existence, otherwise it’s a maysoh kof b’alma….”
It’s absurd to claim that Rav Hutner was against mivtzah tefillin without knowing the lengthy correspondence where he asks the Rebbe all of his questions. He also writes that he made sure not to go public with his opinion, etc. It’s also interesting to note the sensitivity he uses in his argument.
To ignore these letters and just claim (or imply) that Rav Hutner was against mivtzah tefllin is burying your head in the sand.
