In case you wondered


For those of you out there, and we know there are plenty, who think that a certain group in Williamburg represents the continuity of Chabad take a look at this dude. He's the son of Big Chief Weberman of the Malochim tribe in Williamsburg. This is what becomes of those who have no Mesorah in Chabad and read the Seforim on their own. The picture was taken at a counter-rally at the Salute to Israel parade or maybe a rally in support of "Palestine". Makes a pretty picture, no?

(Hey, it's been like a month already since we've spoken about these clowns)

Boruch - you always have the best answer. I think heshy is going to kick us off his blog.

Did you ever offer to treat him with some good coffee if he comes early enough?

The real topic and only topic is "Avoda shbelev zu tefila"

For those of us who read Yiddish , the magazine DER BLIK has a nice article about the M'lochim. It includes pictures of Rabbi Weberman and his predecessor rabbi Yankev Shorr.
As I have written '"elsewhere" the M'lochim may have book knowledge of Chabad but they lack the Torah shebaal Peh of Chabad etc.
The ones I have met like most Jews are fine people, but in my opinion as a group claiming to be authentic Chabad they have no legitimacy.Perhaps had a senior Chabadnik taken over as their leader in the late 1930's they would have someone to be mekabel from.
Thus their learning ,yiras shomayim etc is in the bechina of "kevodom bemkomom munach" but true Chabad ???

Dear K.
do you think that the M'olochim were more a branch of Chabad or children of that great movement. there are alot of very nice families who come from the M'olcim but are the ones today anything like the old days? there is a lesson in all of this if you define oneself but what you are not do you have a self?

you sound like rodney king...get real

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

not much sand and too many fleas? I think the kids playing here are not putting in their fair share of time.

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

Weberman and his cronies sold their souls to Hamas, their main source of funds. You address the Rebbe like that and I'M the Anti-Semite? how odd!

Anonymous said...

What if the M'lochim were not NK people. Would our attitude to them be different ?
Frankly to this day I am unsure as to the belief system of the Mlochim. Which of the Lubavitcher rebbes do you accept ?
Do you accept the Kopuster rebbes ?
Do you go to othr rebbes for spiritual advise or do you feel no need for this.
I would love to get an authoratative reply to these questions.

from what I've heard they respect the Rashab because he was anti-Zionist. The Rayatz they laugh at, and the Rebbe I don't need to tell you.

They consider their patron saint to be the equal of the Maharash. I guess that leaves the Tzemach Tzedek.
I don't think there's any real connection to Kopust, although Strashele is quite popular with the radical fringe of Toldos Aharon etc, so maybe it is there as well.

Did they respect the Mittler Rebbe ?

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

Do we care if they did?

I guess they did. How nice of them to do that.

Why are Chabad still scared of a group that left their party so many generations ago? Is there some kind of complex still extant?
I heard in the name of their Rebbe "The Tzemach was a Rebbe, The MahaRash was a chosid and the Rashab knew a chossid". That pretty much tells you their respect for the Chabad Rebbes.
In reality the differences between the Rashab and his successors is no less than the difference between the Malochim and Chabad. Chabad seems to have died out between the wars and now all we have is a zecher for Chabad. The Malochim are just as good as anyone for that zecher.
BTW, it is strange that the Sinah to Misnagdim is the last thing to be forgotten amongst Chassidim.
