I’m impressed by your response. You are, as you said, a person looking for truth. Most people, not just Lubavichers, go into defense mode when someone introduces an alien thought. That you’re willing to explore what I told you is a positive sign. I don’t question that there was very bad blood between the two sides but I’m sure the Chassidim were not innocent bystanders either. That they could forge a letter in the name of their godol to malign the Litvish’s world leading light is appalling. And the fact that 200 years later these lies are still accepted by Lubavichers is shocking.
