No one is listening to Berger because of WHO he is.
If there is someone listening to him , it is because of WHAT HE SAYS.
So, it is totally pointless to either denigrate or elevate his personality.
It is worthwhile however, to concentrate on the substance of his message, if you want to have some impact.
Engage with his message, consider the reality , the evidence.
Inform yourself.
Let go of any preconceived notions.
Examine the facts with a fresh and open mind.
Weigh it carefully.
And you will come to the inevitable conclusion : Habad nowadays, while consisting of wonderful people, is not normative Judaism.
Thats not sin’at hinam , nor is it hateful.
It’s simple reality.
