Its time that you got off this ‘high horse’ about ‘asking’ habad people.
Its overtime and we [klal israel] are waiting for answers which are not forthcoming .
Why should we be deemed responsible [since you count yourselves as part of us] for laughable and refuted theories which are self contradictory and change according to convenience ?
And which are motsi shem ra on the emuna amitit which we received from sinai ?
Why did our forefathers keep to the emet with such obstinacy and such sacrifice in the face of the entire known world just to have our emuna tehora reduced to mere jokes ?
These are the [painful] issues at stake here .
Not kosher meals in Mozambique.
And not whether habad people are nice people.
And not whether the hasidim were right 200 years ago in their defense against their detractors.
Those issues are totally IRRELEVANT in the present discussion.
We would like answers and we will not be pacified with ‘apple orange’ answers.
Klal Yisrael deserves ‘apple apple’ [amiti] answers.
If you would deign to supply REAL answers , we are ready to listen ….
