Rabbiofberlin, thanks for the laugh. The only credit I can give you is that you may have been exposed to the unfortunate “Chabad-lite” nonsense that some New Agers are pitching in the Rebbe ZY”A’s name these days. The shluchim from abroad, including many acquaintances of mine, were sent because the Rebbe ZYA wanted to bring Jews closer to Yiddishkeit. Chabad soldiers serve just as Gerrer soldiers do – to defend Jews, not the medine.

And don’t forget for one moment that the Rebbe ZYA sent Carlebach packing because of his krum methods of kiruv and low standards – those who add Carlebach to their new-age Chabad-lite (and Breslov-lite) potpourri conveniently forget that fact.

Re what language Reb Amram spoke on a day to day business, I will ask one of his relatives if he knows as I am not sure. He may have used loshon hakodesh at times because there were actually Sefardi hahamim with whom he had contact and who were part of the old yishuv that opposed the medine.

Finally, no one, not the small remaining group of real followers of Reb Amram ZYA, or whichever of the Reb Arelach splinters is the most “kanoi”, or even Mishkenos HoRoim supports the five and a half choilim who went to Teheran.
