“So turns out , most of us here were Chassidim to begin with.”
You’re a chossid if you accept the Rebbe as your own, but yah The Rebbe wanted every Jew to be a shliach in his own way.
“So it seems that L Rebbe decided that he educated his students enough to be self-responsible.”
Sort of. More like the Rebbe is inspiring and guiding but more backstage instead of taking front and Center stage. The advantage is that people actually internalize the Rebbes message and teachings and make it their own instead of just doing things automatically because The Rebbe said so, without it being their own
