  2. It was a room full of mothers and fathers bubbies and zaidies. You were able to feel the pain of hundreds of individuals who were looking for guidance support and advice how to deal and cope with their misfortune.
    There were professionals in the field who spoke about the many studies and statistics that were conducted about alienation.

    For more information or if you know anyone who is suffering from children that were turned against there parents, you may reach out to Broken Ties at www.brokenties.org or call (518) 941-3616
    This was a project of Nefesh, Toldos, and Broken Ties.

  3. There were a bunch of familiar faces plus many new faces. This silent pandemic is unfortunately spreading. These people are your relatives, neighbors, daveners in your shul and your equatance.
    It's unbelievable who this can happen to.

  4. "A Lubavitcher man was struck in a hit-and-run while walking to Shul on Friday night at the intersection of Albany Ave and Union Street. Police are investigating it as a possibly biased crime. He was transported to Hospital by Hatzola."
    I wonder why the publishers felt a need to point out that is was a Lubavitcher. Would it not suffice to say it was a frum man? The implication is that being a Lubavitcher would make a difference in how you might feel when reading it.

  8. That is correct. Rav Aaron held lemayseh that if a Lubavecher touches wine it has the din of yayin nesach

    1. Why take the bait???

      They make sure to refer to themselves that way. They make sure to categorize the rest of Klall Yisroel.

      They complain that the "Nesi Doireinu's" picture is not posted in classrooms of schools. Yet, they don't find it odd, nor hypocritical, that the "Nesi Doireinu's" schools have no room for the pictures of any Talmidei Chachomim in Klall Yisroel who are not "Anash". Moshiach should have enough room to recognize the greatness in all of Klall Yisroel.

    2. Where could you find this ruling? Mishnas RA on rambam Yayin nesech?

    3. Rav Schach said it publicly. Unlikely that Rav Ahron ever said it, He was known to oppose Chabad but he was niftar before the Mosiach campaigns and atmius u'mehus talk.

      Delete
    4. Those campaigns Egan way back. Moshiach was a continuation of his father-in-law who came to believe that he was moshiach. His younger son-in-law was his successor. The atzmus stuff was already in 1959! Rav Aaron was well aware....

      Delete
    5. At the levaya of Rav Schnuer Kotler the older son in law Rabbi Gurary was in attendance (at the one in Boro Park I'm not sure about the one in Lakewood) No one acted hostile to him. If it were really true that Rav Ahron had said that about Chabad he wouldn't have come and he wouldn't have stood comfortably among various Roshey Yeshiva who were known for their hostility to Chabad.

      Delete
    6. Rav Gurary was not a believer that they were moshiach - not of his brother-in-law and not of his father-in-law.

      (It is claimed that this is what lost him being the rebbe. It had been accepted for many years that he was the next rebbe, which is why his BIL was permitted to go to college, as he wasn't going to be rebbe. But, it is claimed that when he didn't wholeheartedly go for the moshiach campaign, his FIL chose his BIL to succeed him and his campaign. The rebbitzi - his mother-in-law - never agreed and tried to prevent this. She hid the spodik, which the way the hachtora worked was by wearing the previous rebbe's spodik. So, when the BIL declared himself rebbe, he said that he can be a rebbe in his own hat.)

      In fact, how was his rebbetzin Chana Gurary injured, which led to her death?

      Suffice it to say that he was not a believer of atzmus, or the sort. What was said is only about believers of .... Rav Schach explicitly wrote that they were ueraim ushleimim before....

    7. There were issues going
      back TO
      the Rashab And more problems during
      the Vaad Hatzala era

      Though since they were sacrificing themselves admirably in Russia it tempered the opposition for a generation or so

    8. I’m anti-Chabad but among the other dubious claims of yours it is ridiculous to claim that the Rayatz chose his younger SIL to be Rebbe over the mosiach issue. Firstly, in Chabad it was never widely thought that the Rayatz was Mosiach. Secondly, he never indicated who his successor should be. The issue wasn’t settled until over a year after his death.

      Delete
    9. Apparently there were also false claims being made about Chabad even in the 1930s because in the recently newly published letters of Rav Ozer Chaim Ozer there is a least one letter strongly supporting and defending the manner the Rayatz was distributing money collected for the Rabbonim in Russia and his complete impartial distribution regardless of whether the person was affiliated with Chabad or not. Rav Chaim Ozer even vouches for Rabbi Gourary in that letter. This has nothing to do with the situation in Chabad today
