Who else tries to open yeshivas and bring in kids who are in public school to Judaism? nd not only in a huggy invite you to a shabbos meal thing but actually trying to build institutions. Who’s willing to be chaplains in the US Army and prisons to help Jews there? Yes there’s Lakewood and Kollel and things like that but the system doesn’t really give people who aren’t falling within their lines of Orthodoxy much of a chance. While Lakewood and like minded yeshivas have grown it doesn’t move the needle enough for people who aren’t there yet. Chabad does though.
Huh… I was wondering when another Chabad post would finally be made. It’s been a while!
Can’t wait to see what the guys wearing “Chabad-Masks” will come up with this time!
Kinda reminds me of Lord of the Flies. Bunch of kids trying to act like adults, the more they try to act like adults the deeper into chaos they get…until an actual adult comes and the kids stand embarrassed. Some things you just can’t fake, you know?
This is true and started at least under Fridrike Rebbe in US …
But there were/are people within Litvishe world addressing the issue – R Salanter was paying attention to less-observant. For example, there is a story of him gicing advice to merchants in Königsberg to first stop writing down list of merhandize on shabbos, then to stop sending ships out, etc – and he delayed announcing these ideas until a visiting Litvishe Yid leaves so that he does not get any ideas about partial observance. At some point, though he admits that Litvishe world is getting less observant and not listening and it is more productive to deal with those who are already at the bottom, like French Jews.
Chofetz Chaim also writes to Jews who are losing observance, separate books/articles for those in Poland and those in the Russian army (mahaneh yisroel) and those who left for goldene medinos (nidhei yisroel). Ponevezher Rav in Lita and R Moshe Soloveitchik in Poland were trying to combine secular education (desired by parents) with Jewish so that Jews don’t leave Jewish school. This is going beyond what Ch. Ch. was saying – simply imploring parents to send children to cheders. R Soloveitchik @ YU and Boston first yeshiva and then high school built on that. And he was well aware and very positive about what Chabad was doing.
In our times, there are a number of college hillel rabbis who do a great job. Meor and Oorah also.
Well there’s NCSY, Ohr Sameach, Aish Hatorah, Shuvu,
Just to name a few
So yes Chabad is going out to Times Square, Beaches, and night clubs to put tefillin on people but is that what Hashem really wants?
1) There are others who try to bring kids to yeshivos and build institutions.
2) The Chabad-Lubavitch sect is busy promoting their own religion (an offshoot of Yiddishkeit), with their long dead false messiah, their late Rebbuh, and their confused and corrupt theology. We don’t need more Lubavitcher apikorsim who believe in such rubbish. No one should be fooled into supporting them. They are promoting Chabadianity, Lubavitchism, not mainstream, normative Torah Judaism. Let no one be fooled by all their deceptive PR and their missionaries.
