I wanted to begin the program by having a Chazan sing Hatikvah. The Rabbi went ballistic that Zionism is Kefirah so I took it out.

Correct. Hatikva is an absolute no-no in Chabad. The Rebbe publicly removed his nesius and name from Lubavitch Yeshiva Tomchei Temimim because they used the tune of Hatikva at a dinner in the late 1950s.
