Reply To: Question of an ignorant, closed-minded Lubavitcher

>>>Menachem, that was not the story as I heard it from Korf’s son…

According to my understanding of the Chabad sources printed at the time of the attack, he was teaching Tanya to two bochurim. I can look into the details.

>>>Usually Lubavitchers admit that other frum communities are off-limits for proselytizing

Very strange. Hafotzas hamaayonos (spreading chassidic teachings) was always a key element in Chabad.
The talmidei habaal shem tov went around disseminating his Torah, bringing many misnagdim into their fold.
Same was with talmidei hamaggid.

The Chabad Rebbes, beginning with the Baal Hatanya, sent Shadarim (the original shluchim) all across Europe to spread the teachings of chassidus.

Why would any Lubavitcher deny this?

>>>Lubavichers love to change the discussion from Meshichism to any other subject, especially one in which they look like the good guys and Satmar the crazies.

Who brought up the story of Satmar in this thread?

>>>there’s a NY Times story from 1984, available on their site, reporting on the acquittal of all charges of the Satmar guy who was charged.

He was acquitted because Reb Pinye refused to verify that he was the one who did it. He said his eyes were closed during the actual attack. Also, he wouldn’t confirm that he was a chossid (“I try to be a chossid”).
The fact that the attackers took advantage of Reb Pinye’s humility to go unpunished is all the more despicable.
