Reply To: Clarification to mod and DaMoshe

Mod thanks for explaining. I’m still not clear on what you meant. Are you saying that what I wrote (based on many posters here who hail from the litvish world) is false? That people don’t turn their noses up at Chabad (when that’s what I’m seeing repeatedly here)? No need to reply if you’re exasperated, I’m just confused as what you find to be motzei shem ra.

Arso, quoting the rashi from memory, feel free to check up, it doesn’t זה, it says, כגון which to the best of my knowledge means For example:. For example doesn’t mean the Gemara is only referring to this person, it means someone like this person. And it uses the same word כגון, to the best of my recollection, both for the dead and for the live. Obviously, we cannot limit the live to Rebbi, and similarly the dead.

Hope that is clear
