    Chabad Christian like??
    No Chabadnik has ever asked me if I wanted to accept the Rebbe as my personal savior. To put on tefillin, yes, but never if I wanted to be saved, and then telling me I’m going to hell if I refuse. This video is a good presentation, but a very broad generalization at best. I’recently have began to read the Tanya. It has some great teaching. But I could never be a full fledged Black Hatter.

    As a person who came out of a state of between Avoda Zara and Judaism (similar to the story of the people and the Prophet Eliyahu on Har Carmel) in which a simple letter from the Lubavitcher Rebbe was the impetus for my release from this state, i have much respect for the Rebbe. What his Chassidim and Shluchim do is not necessarily a reflection on the good he did.

    This short dissertation seems to be a screed against chassidism in general. In his closing the Rabbi states that most chassidic sects have little knowledge of the principles of chassidut and are merely held together by the external forces of community. The exception is chabad who adhere to the 'radical' theology of chassidut. He appears to rank the legitimacy of chssidic groups according to their adherence to chassidic theology, and those who have strayed the furthest rank highest in his eyes. In this perverse way he has affirmed that chabad does indeed best represent the chassidic movement which he vehemently opposes. This hearkens back to the old dispute of 200 years ago which was largely resolved in the days of rabbi Chaim of Volozhin. Of course one can criticize elements of chassidut and those followers who may take things too far, however it seems the rabbi's issue with chassidut is deeper than mere philosophical difference.

To be fair to chabadniks they bring the lost jews back to the fold and are somewhat friendly with the outside world.

      § Rav Yehuda says that Rav says: When Moses ascended on High, he found the Holy One, Blessed be He, sitting and tying crowns on the letters of the Torah. Moses said before God: Master of the Universe, who is preventing You from giving the Torah without these additions? God said to him: There is a man who is destined to be born after several generations, and Akiva ben Yosef is his name; he is destined to derive from each and every thorn of these crowns mounds upon mounds of halakhot. It is for his sake that the crowns must be added to the letters of the Torah.

      Moses said before God: Master of the Universe, show him to me. God said to him: Return behind you. Moses went and sat at the end of the eighth row in Rabbi Akiva’s study hall and did not understand what they were saying. Moses’ strength waned, as he thought his Torah knowledge was deficient. When Rabbi Akiva arrived at the discussion of one matter, his students said to him: My teacher, from where do you derive this? Rabbi Akiva said to them: It is a halakha transmitted to Moses from Sinai. When Moses heard this, his mind was put at ease, as this too was part of the Torah that he was to receive.

      Moses returned and came before the Holy One, Blessed be He, and said before Him: Master of the Universe, You have a man as great as this and yet You still choose to give the Torah through me. Why? God said to him: Be silent; this intention arose before Me. Moses said before God: Master of the Universe, You have shown me Rabbi Akiva’s Torah, now show me his reward. God said to him: Return to where you were. Moses went back and saw that they were weighing Rabbi Akiva’s flesh in a butcher shop [bemakkulin], as Rabbi Akiva was tortured to death by the Romans. Moses said before Him: Master of the Universe, this is Torah and this is its reward? God said to him: Be silent; this intention arose before Me.

      @@FrumSepharadi After a lot of exploration and discovery the only thing that makes sense to me is that the Five Books of Moses are the word of God. But only the Five Books of Moses, and theyre meant to be taken literally as long as you understand the language they're written in. The books of the Prophets and Writings are important too, but not everything in them is meant to be taken literally. Some things are metaphortical and poetic but they pint us back to and help us understand the Torah. But the Torah is literal truth. As for works like the Talmud, Halachic works, commentaries, etc their power is persuasive. Its good to study them and whatever we're convinced by them is the proper way to keep the Torah is what we should keep. If that means a diversity of different ways of keeping it then so be it.

    In every section of Klal Yisroel there is a hierarchy of hamoin am and rabonim . In the Hasidic world the hamoin am are by and large shomrei mitzvos . In other sections of klal yisroel , the hamoin am are not shomrei mizvos to the same degree.
    So in that respect , the Hasidim are vindicated .

    I have been recently following this podcast for mostly political content but ths shiur is dismaying - to brandish chabad as akin to christiantity is simply false - the proof is in the fact that chabad adherents are observing torah and mitzvot and are bringing people closer to hashem - vayameinu bahashem uvemoshe avdo is as old as the torah - yes there are extreme elements but this in no way justfies the wholesale brandishing of this group.

      I appreciate your point in referencing the verse where the Israelites trusted in God and in His servant Moses.

    It would be more interesting if the Rabbi had a good grasp of his own theory enough to point at the interesting period of Frankism/Misnagdism/Hasidism and offer a comprehensive working model for how to understand Hasidism.

    Yahadut has evolved into "Yiddishkeit" which in itself evolved into the new religion of ''çhumroiss" I doubt an Israelite from the time of King David/Solomon would recognise much. Chabad simply has lost its way, leaderless and rudderless, the rebbi should have seen this well ahead, knowing he has no yoresh. He should have called out to all his followers to make aliyah, as well as himself.

    With all due respect Rabbi this is simply not true! The Rebbe was just that a Rebbe, and anyone who proposes otherwise is looked at within chabad circles as at least extremist. Lehavdil to compare to Xianity. As a Rabbi yourself you may have students who revere you but that does not change your status. The Rebbe was the seventh in a chassidic dynasty and if anything he wanted NOT to be the Rebbe. I think you are misrepresenting the majority by using the few as the example. What chabad is doing globally speaks for itself and for the leader of the movement, not the lunatics who tried to dig under 770. They do not represent the movement. Not at all. Shavua Tov.

    Regarding to Christianity and others lines of similar worship/conception, the matter of the Son (the spiritual Master) and the Father (God), is much more dynamic that what your gross, stagnant and impersonal mind tries to fathom. By the grace of the Father (God) one obtains the Son,and viceversa. The son is not God in terms of omnipotence, omniscience, etc, but, in terms of the message! Because, only an arrogant fool (psil) thinks he can listen directly from God. "Kdoshim tihiyu ki kadosh ani" (lv, 19, 2): do you have such purity? This is way, its referred to Him (the Son) as the Word (logos). Just as when metal is expose long enough to fiere it acts as fiere, similarly, the Son (the Spiritual Master, he who cams in disciplic succestion in divine line), is one with God... but different, simultaneously! Is like the concept of Mac Luhan: "the media is the message"! The bloodline (ius sanguini), which is but a pagan idea (base on the concept of Aristocracy), is nothing but Avoda Zara, and it will get others confiouse, just as you are!
