To rescue
I’m a little confused. Are you criticizing the way I deal with Chabad? If that’s your opinion, then I’ll address it. I write in a rather folksy manner, while you tend towards the academic approach, so it’s a bit off-putting. Clarify and I’ll be glad to respond to your concerns.
To YYA
Obviously, had he put it as you did, there would be no problem, but as I’ve stated, Rabbi Plutchok told me that Millerites and Lubavichers are cult members and so they believe that their leaders are infallible. To be sure I know many Lubavichers who would agree with that Rabbi, but they would never publicly embarrass another Jew because they have good Middos. The same is true for Rabbi Miller’s followers. The problem is their inability to listen to any opposing viewpoint. To be fair, I had very few personal dealings with Rabbi Miller, but I spent thirty years with his Talmud Muvhak. He’s a wonderful person but any challenge to Rabbi Miller’s view gets you a one-way ticket you know where. Coming from the Feinsteins that didn’t sit well with me. You’ll probably ask why I went there. It was 1990 and I wanted to learn Gemara, I knew almost nothing at the time, and I read about the Yeshiva in the Jewish Press, so I signed up. I made a lot of friends and developed a taste for learning. As for Rabbi Miller’s shittahs, I basically ignored them.
