To YB: You say you’ve learned the shoftim 51 sicha. Did you look up the sources quoted and see the context etc? Ie Did you learn it properly? Secondly, are there things there that are wrong/ misquoted etc? Yes Chabad are unique: we focus our Avodas Hashem on building Him a home He’ll be comfortable with, in this world, which will be revealed to all when Moshiach comes. This is a Medrash Tanchuma, brought as a central theme in Tanya and elaborated on by all the Rebbeim after. This isn’t wrong, it’s just different.

You reference the Rebbes statement that Avodas habirurim has been finished. Have you asked any Lubavitcher what that means? Or at least looked up the footnotes? The Rebbe elaborates on many themes throughout the Sichos, and refers to them in shorthand in others. That’s why me and my husband each have a weekly kevius of a year of Sichos we’re learning week after week so we can properly understand the depth, and see the build up of concepts. It sounds like you just opened the sicha to confirm to yourself that Chabad is crazy, read a few lines or maybe the whole sicha with a cursory reading, and slammed it shut- mission accomplished.

There’sa saying of the Rebbe Maharash: the only one fooled by a fool is a fool, and what’s the accomplishment of fooling a fool?

Feel free to correct if the above is not as stated.
