A wonderful president, who stopped at nothing to get things done.
Gadolhadorah –
1. The Torah is not a democracy. If R’ Shmuel Kamenetzky says something, us common folk have no say to the contrary. That I need to spell this out is sad commentary.
2. Charliehall said “Any Jew who prays for Trump’s re-election has rejected everything the Torah teaches”. That was not a political choice, but a hashkafic statement.Charliehall,
“Any Jew who prays for Trump’s re-election has rejected everything the Torah teaches.”
Harav Shmuel Kamenetzky begs to differ.
I will take this opportunity to remind certain posters that Rav Shmuel Kamenetzky came out in support of Trump. It “will really blow your mind” that people DON’T support him.

Every yachid comes with his own ‘chachma’ why not to participate.

Anyways, I DO like sour cream.
“Chabad will be vindicated when Moshiach comes, regardless of who it is.”
I think you define vindicate a bit differently than I meant it.
Vindicate: show or prove to be right, reasonable, or justified.
So how will Chabad be vindicated, if it turns out to be, say, R’ Chaim Kanievsky?
Regarding Chabad and Moshiach, we all hope for Moshiach every day, as one of the Rambam’s 13 Core Beliefs. The only way Chabad would be ‘vindicated’, so to speak, is if Moshiach turns out to be the Lubavitcher Rebbe. (To quote at least one Gadol, let it be the Lubavitcher Rebbe, as long as he comes already…)
Regarding the use of gematrios to prove a point, see the sefer Degel Machnei Efraim (grandson of the Besh”t) Parshas Chukas, on the possuk Al Kein Yomru Hamoshlim. You can use this link: https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=3723&st=&pgnum=155&hilite=.
Some answers –
6. Founder Tzaddik/Rebbe of dynasty and approximately which year –
R’ Yakov Kopel Chusid (d. 1787) of Kolomyia, talmid of Baal Shem Tov, is considered the founder of the Vizhnitz (and Kosov) dynasty.
7. Original location – city and country –
Kolomyia or Kolomyya, formerly known as Kolomea, is a city located on the Prut River in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, in western Ukraine
9. How is Tefillah conducted (with examples) –
Very strong emphasis on nusach, with their own siddur “Posei’ach She’arim”. Many ‘t’nuos’, such as a special t’nuah before the bracha of Sfiras Ha’omer.
12. Major contribution to Judaism – I would say their warmth to mitzvos, especially Shabbos. The Yerushalmi-based chassidus of Toldos Avrum Yitzchok, with offshoots and adherents globally, is based off the Vizhnitz model.
13. Present Rebbe/Tzaddik and location – city and country –
Many. Two in Bnei Brak (Israel), R’ Yisroel Hager and his brother R’ Mendel; One in Monsey, NY, R’ Yisroel Hager (a first cousin) and his many brothers in Bet Shemesh (Israel), London (UK), Montreal (Canada), Williamsburg (NY), Kiamesha Lake (NY), etc.
