Hashkafa with Reb Gershon Ribner shlita
01-Contemporary Gedolim clash on shidduch seeking process
The greatness of the Bal Hatanya
How oblivious the superficial learner is to the hidden truths of the Talmud
Loss of all idealism and values upon being threatened
In a million years , he wouldn't come up to the toenails of the rebbe or the rebbe rayatz
ReplyDeleteProve it
DeleteWe have their Torah published. We know what they knew and how they thought.
DeleteThe last Rebbe was a great Talmid Chacham and a great Ba'al Kishron. But he did not learn from a Rebbe, he learned on his own. He claimed that his father in law was his Rebbe, but to say that, he had to redefine the word Rebbe.
Because he never had a Rebbe, he often went krum, like really really krum. You can burst out laughing at the creativity of his krumkeit sometimes, but he was totally off.
The rogachover said that the baal hatanya is at least a rishon and that his son the mitteler rebbe is even greater
ReplyDeleteFalse. Good man though
DeleteAnd the tzemach tzedek even greater than the mittler.
DeleteAnd tzemach tzedek son even greater than him. Only the youngest son, the other sons who became even bigger rebbe's, don't count because they are not part of official chabad 7 doros lineage.
And everyone knows the Rashab was bigger than his father.
And the ryyatz much much bigger than the Rashab.
Now do the math. If the baal hatanya was a rishon, the mittler was a gaon, the tzemach tzedek was on the level of the rabanan savori, his son like an amorah, the rashab a tannah.
And the ryatz like one of the zugos, hence he's called the נשיא הדור.
Now his son-in-law the rammash was in a league of his own. He certainly was at least a Navi, as his biggest followers repeatedly claimed.
Now you understand why anyone who doubts he is moshiach, is a full fledged kofer.
Thanks for the laugh!!
DeleteHe doesnt know anything about chabad or the chabad yeshivas and the chafetz chaim was very close to the rebbe rashab
ReplyDeleteWe've been infiltrated by chabadskers
DeleteThe Chafetz Chaim was 'very' close to the Rashab?!
DeleteI am sure you mean the other way around. The Rashab merited to speak to the Chafetz Chaim a few times. Takkeh a great zechus.
Or the Ramash
ReplyDeleteThe rebbe is the greatest in learning and everything else .he should actually find out before speading these harmful rumors
ReplyDeleteIf he is serious he has missed the boat.Major.
ReplyDeleteThere have been fundamental integral issues with them in Ikarei Ha'dass.What he raises are relatively minor.
Furthermore, There were stark problematic foundational concepts in the Tanya.These were even challenged at least once by his grandfather-in-law
Moving on,Re: Communal issues.While it got a little better by the the Tzemach Tzedek recent problems with them were already being raised during the Rashab
Goodness.Is that it.
ReplyDeleteHow about perturbing searing issues in Ikarei Ha'dass.What he raises aren't nearly as foundational, they're relatively minor.
Moving on, There were stark problematic fundamental integral concepts in the Tanya.These were even challenged at least once by his grandfather-in-law
Re: Communal issues.While it got a little better by the Tzemach Tzedek recent festering problems with them were already being raised during the Rashab
And his grand father in law (R' Aron Kotler) quoted from Tanya more than once in smuzin given in BMG. One of the times is printed in Mishnas Rav Ahron. I heard from Talmidim who there that there was another time too. His grand father in law also sent the Rayyatz a very flowery letter full of honorifics after the Rayyatz sent money to Kletzk in honor of his daughter's Chasuna (that daughter and her husband were killed by the Nazis) You can find copies of that letter online. In the new letters from Rav Chaim Ozer printed about two years ago there is a letter strongly vouching for the Rayyatz against false allegations when it came to communal issues. Rav Chaim Ozer even vouches for his son in law (Rabbi Gourary not the 7th LR ) I'm as about anti Chabad as you can get but some of the anti-Chabad pre 1950 talk is revisionist history.
DeleteBerel ,et al.
Deleteand the point is?
Don't you know how much honorifics at that level are really worth?
Second, the Rayatz garnered admiration for his militant steadfastness vs. the Bolsheviks [paradoxically which led RGR's father's RY to quip: Chabad is so successful in propaganda since they were the last left in Russia together with the Bolshivikim]. Nonetheless, there was documented friction between Chabad & even the Vaad Hatzala.
Novardok did far more for pre-ww2 Jews in ussr than chabad, but they aren't pr pros, so you dont hear about it all day.
DeleteCohen Y Little as honorifics may be worth RAK never would have addressed you with even a fraction of those titles. Anyone can make up that any group is the greatest and then claim that no one heard about it due to their lack of PR.
DeleteAnyone with the numbers can see how much Novardok did in USSR.
DeleteTheir people were killed, with no newspapers to report it.
According to the Rayatz' numbers, by the time the Tzemach Tzedek died, there were hundreds of thousands of Chabad Chassidim in Russia. How many were killed by the Soviets? 200? 300? The same number made it to the US. Where are the rest? They went frei just like people from all other kehillos went frei. There is nothing special about Chabad over any other group.
2:16,
DeleteHow do you know? He called my grandfather's mentor/colleague R' Yehudah Davis the "Gadol Hador in all areas of chinuch"
If you believe Rav Ahron Kotler really so easily exaggerated when describing people then you need to keep that in kind in relation to all the alleged vehement attacks he made on other people too. They also need also need to be seen as a major guzmah.
DeleteEven if possibly so, however he tried to push an official Resolution against Chabad through UO Rabbinical Assembly, it's a whole new league
DeleteWow to to russia and ask mechila
ReplyDeleteThe last recording is a backward sevara.
ReplyDeleteIt is impossible that menahalim have other ideals than the success of the bochurim, because then we can't trust them with our children. What a circular sevara!
We send our children to menahalim שלא לשם שמים, because we have no choice. Great Talmidei Chachamim stayed in BMG, even when they don't have much respect for the hanhala. It is no contradiction.
Regarding the shoteh who learns with Zichru and thinks that he knows Shas.
ReplyDeleteHe is not to blame. Zichru isn't Dirshu. Zichru exists to protect some Chassidim from the terrible hashpa'os of Dirshu. Those people, and their Rebbes and Dayanim, are amei ha'aretz muflagim, and they are proud of it. They have produced Seforim showing off their am ha'aratzus, and laugh at the idea of sitting and learning. When they see a yungerman toiling in learning, their answer is to mutter something about chalav akum.
Go make kugel and cut lukshen.
