very intriguing how matters seemed to get discussed here as if people know what they are talking about rather than just spouting worthless cliches. this will hopefully be the first and last time i will be pulling yichus in the CR (or anywhere for that matter). my father is an eighth generation lubavitcher and my paternal ancestors were very big in lubavitch (my father’s father was asked to be the rosh hayeshivah of 770 both by the sixth and seventh lubavitcher rebbe, his father was the chief rabbi of switzerland during the war and served in more than one place as dayan in europe itself, need i go on?). to set the record straight, there are those lubavitchers from tzfat that are “normal” (non yechi) too. one can not make a generalization about the lubavitchers without being (very) wrong. if people would actually research lubavitch and what it really was, they wouldn’t be saying a lot of what they do. granted, some chassidim are misguided but that is not the fault of lubavitch. people have got to make that distinction and stop blaming the chassidus rather than the person’s choice. as to those groups in lubavitch people have a problem with (elokistim, boreinuniks, real yechiniks) i would like to break it to you that they do NOT represent chabad in any form or fashion so stop saying lubavitchers are crazy etc, lubavithcers aren’t crazy, these people are misguided.
