I suggest we should put aside all the personal squabbles here .
Mai Dehaveh Haveh.
And concentrate on the ikar.
Is habad nowadays part of mainstream Judaism ?
Or not ?
The overwhelming majority of participants on this site, think its not.
No matter that they have their own private , personal disagreements.
Which are in greater scheme of things , insignificant.
Let’s maybe rephrase the original question.
Given the past trajectory of nowadays habad , where do you think its theological position will be in ten , twenty, fifty or a hundred years from now ?
Provided the real mashiach will not have come yet.
Don’t forget, habad of the future will consist of today’s babies who never met the real flesh and blood human with his foibles , and who will be brainwashed by an education based on fanatical narrow minded misinterpretations of the torah and hazal.
Food for thought.
