On a side note as a lubavitcher why do litvishers have such wide variety opinions on Chabad?
Some love some hate
Why is there such a variety of opinions?In Chabad everyone pretty much has the same opinion without much variety in attitude towards other Jews
Yet in the litvishe world it seems so broad in the attitude to chabad
why is that?Whats the amount of yidden youth struggling in theirnyiddishkeit from lakewood williamsburg etc that were mekaraved cause of chabad
Its clear that people just hate
Sinas Chinam will filter out any positivity
Its a negativity biasFor the sake of the argument, every min doesn’t have to be every specie, one type of elephants would be enough.
“Anyone” is falling into the trap of classic habad propaganda
which focuses on the good habad does and thereby covering for the radical theological changes from milenia old yahadut
no one disputes the good habad does , the issue is the changes habad introduced
if ‘anyone’ wants to defend habad , he should explain those changes .

I love how you guys point at chabad as extreme while your own ideologies are extreme. Facepalm
You need to stop looking at the extreme mindset and start looking at the people. Many people all over the world are suffering from extreme ideologies, chabad is not excluded but the worship of the rebbe is not the sum total of all their beliefs.
To Anyone
I disagree with your thesis that there’s a disparity in how normative Jews view Chabad. Let me explain. First, all mainstream Jews agree that the following Chabad claims are false. That is, we reject that the Rebbe is Moshiach, was a Novi, is still alive, and we reject Manis Friedman’s contention that one can do any Aveirah of his choosing and nothing will happen to him. Second, we all agree that Lubavitchers, by and large, are very nice people and we encourage them to continue their fine Kiruv work. Where there is a difference is that one camp, of which I’m part, is troubled by Chabad’s distortions of our religion and so we address them, while the other camp overlooks the deviant Chabad belief system because they’re impressed by the good Chabad does.
