Menachem: I refer to your rebbe’s statement that he was not forbidding anybody to sleep in the Sukka, just defending minhag Chabad that they don’t. However, you did not translate the whole of it. He goes to great lengths and says “Let him sleep well. ‘You shall lie down and your sleep will be pleasant’ [Prov 3,24]. He should have good dreams. Nobody should disturb him” He is obviously mocking those that sleep in the Sukka.
You complain that some “hate” Lubavitch. Unfortunately, Lubavitch has brought this problem on itself. The Gerrer Rebbe and the Chofets Chaim had great regard for each other, treating each other as equals. Similarly the Chazon Ish, Steipler, and his son; vis-à-vis the other Chasidic Rebbes of their time. I can see from this thread that Lubavitch is different: The greatest Tzaddik and Talmid Chochom is not comparable with a simple Chabadsker. After all, their leader is the Divine Messiah. Who said “No one enters the Kingdom of Heaven but through me”?
