Menachem Shmei denies that Lubavitchers think that they are the “Master Race” of Judaism. Let me provide two anecdotes. One of Ron Hirsch’s daughters in laws(He’s a noted philanthropist) was raised Chabad. I asked her if she was taught in yeshiva that Lubavitchers are better than other Jews and she confirmed it. Second story. About 20 years ago I asked a Chabad Rabbi(I didn’t know much about Chabad at the time) how he would feel if his daughter married someone from Lakewood (she was 9 at the time.) He told me that the question was ridiculous because Lubavitchers are the highest form of Jew. As for Shmei’s response that Rav Shach had troublesome offspring. That’s not unusual so did Rav Moshe and a host of others. The reason I make a point of it is that the Rebbe bragged that he would save every Jew.If he couldn’t help his own family how is he going to save Jews in the hinterlands? As for Rabbi Sacks statement. I heard him say that exact quote on Zev Brenner is the Rebbe studied Hitler. It’s possible that in writing he said it differently. Once again Shmei tries to depict me a a liar and he’s checkmated.
