בע"כ יענו אמן




(I'm using a שם המושאל in the title)

It was a tough week for those that oppose Chabad and its activities, as was noted here in another thread. (I won't use the word "snag" or "haters.") Seeing Chabad get such praise from all ends of the spectrum is difficult for some people to stomach. Of course not everybody got in on the lovefest, not all media, and we understand some that didn't. Not that it matters either way. Nist in dem bashteit shlichus, on an article in a Jewish paper, but it sure helps. Quite surprising were the two articles published here, of Mozes and Fishoff, with each one surprising for a different reason. With Fishoff it's like this: It's tough to gauge an Agudist's views towards Lubavitch. Some don't care, Some are cold, some are lukewarm and some foam at the mouth at the mere mention of the "L-word." The Agudah of old in America had all kinds. R' Yechiel BZ is a throwback, or a relic if you will. A staunch Gerrer Chossid. The younger ones are MOSTLY products of American Yeshivos, where Lubavitch was not held in the highest regard - for all kinds of reasons. Hence, here in America we look at the Agudah as a group not particularly friendly towards Lubavitch, and we're surprised when we see joint efforts by the two groups or praise from one to the other. You might compare Fishoff to Reb Chatzkel Besser, z"l, but you shouldn't, because Rabbi Besser had no Rebbe that he could his own after WW2 and the demise of Radomsk, wheras Fishoff had the Gerrer Rebbes throughout and seemingly didn't consult with the Rebbe that much. Rabbi Besser did, as we all know, so comparing the two just because they were two Poylishe Yidden in the American Agudah upper echelons is not entirely just. So we're still a bit surprised to see Reb Yechiel write such warm words in the press about Lubavitch.

With MK Mozes it's like this. Israel and the Agudah there is a whole different ballgame. They were not necessarily influenced by Lakewood and Baltimore - and they knew der emes. Many of the Chassidishe Chavrei Knesset - Lorencz not withstanding - had very close relationships with the Rebbe, as has been documented time and time again. Despite their differences on many subjects they knew, they knew. The complete story has yet to be told, not just with the Agudah but with the Edah HaCharedis as well, and the disappointment amongst the zealots will be very great then. What jumps out at you is despite being a Hoyzboocher by the Imrei Chaim of Vizhnitz that he knew where to turn to in a time of crisis... Remember I don't work for Lubavitch, Inc. so I don't know who was invited and who went on their own accord and who went because newspapers sent them, but it was very nice to see such a cross-section of VIPs, press and politicians there to witness the great event. Not that I was there - I just see what all of you see, a barrage of pictures and articles that makes even a Lubavitcher like me say "ok, enough already, let's move on to another topic"

Interesting that "everyone" knew the "emmes" yet they did not want to be mekabel malchis!!!
The Rebbe ran the whole world from Aggideh, to Vishnitz, to Satmat via Uriel Tzimmer!
Nu, nu, you are a kool-aided "baal dimyon"
The rebbe could not even save his own neighborhood Crown Heights aka "Kahn Tzivo" from turning into a high crime ghetto with only Lubavitcher silly enough to remain.
Yet he ran the whole world.
In your dreams after way to much mashkeh!!!

Tzig, genious title. I recently heard that YOB, in the early eighties, brought the little kinderlach on LB to watch the Chabatzkers prance. Obviously, this wouldn't fly today (I don't even know where they dance/march/toot their collective horns/blay the bongo). Maybe you can be masbir to us when exactly this metomorphousus transpired. Years ago, only the hard-core yeshivaleit saw through Chabad, while the hamon ahm still waited on line for hours on after yom tov for some religous juice... and asked the Rebbe's advice and actually respected it. Now, times have changed and many don't respect the Rebbe's teachings like they should. Is it because of Meshichism? That contributes, but their gotta be more to it.

Remember, Chabad has the worse PR problem. The real/bittul/ehrlich/ehrensteh crowd doesn't advertise, while the nuts are in our face. It is not fair to you (assuming you aren't one of the nuts). You gotta be creative in exposing the haters/snags/yeshivaleit to the "good Lubobs". Kapish?

BTW, I don't see, like I used to, an aggresive promulgation of the Noahite obsession. Why did that die down? Didn't the Rebbe teach that? Is that activity (i.e. soliciting the noahites) primarily adopted by the Meshichists? That's my impression, but I could be wrong.

It seems that you live in San Fransisco where pot is almost legal, since your facts about CH make you look bipolar, Kool Aid is not as a strong substance.

since you are not from the Hamon Am, I would like to know when is the last you set foot in a Seforim Store not for purchasing a bedikas chometz set? Since you were their the last time looking on fine seforim, I would like to inform you on the 2 volumes of Geonishe seforim by the name Mitzvas Hashem on the sugya of Sheva Mitzvas Bnie Noach. It has on every 2nd page footnotes by the big Goan Reb Zalman Nechmia(I dont know if Yeshiva Liet like you heard of him since he is not the typical Talmid Chochem quoted in the Ried, since he has more yedias then the first 7 pages of the 7 Yeshiveshe Masechtas)next time when you go next block for your Danish check it out.

Let me try:
You koolaid Lubobs can just drink all your koolaid vodka, since you all drank the Rebbe's Kool-Aid, brainwashed, like R Shach said. But you're all so drunk on your PR kool-aid that you don't even see it.
Kool, it works. You, too, can be a Circus Tent commenter-extraordinaire!

Reading from time to time this sight and the comment section I am truly baffled: Whats the point of the comment section on this site. which seems to be just a outlet for ranters day in day out with no light to shed no wisdom to impart?

The same seething hate, from people who know very little but live and judge by stereotype, comment in and comment out, even if some criticism is warranted but the sub par writing and the over the top invective and fulminations are making reading comments an exercise in sewer repair, you have to tighten your nostrils lest you will inhale the toxic stench and fumes the pervade this place.

And the predictability? You read one comment and you can predict all the comments which are so stale and trite. Cant the at least come up with new ideas? Like L. drinks blood of Snags etc.

Also I fail to see the wisdom of the site owner? Allowing the haters to express themselves freely on his site? Whats the point exactly?

From a friend of Tzig who doesn't understand the point here

Yehupitz,
Why don't you explain a couple of things.
"Min hakal el hakoveid"
"Iggros" ( almost all of Chabad hold of this)
"Meshichistin" (significant number and probably most of the youth)
"No more fasts"(Has a following, don't know the number.Zimrony Tzik, well known Moshichist figure in Israel with a large following, apparently in personallife does not fast)
"Borenuniks" (don't know the number,but has a following).
(Maybeafter that take a stab at "atsmus umahus)
I have a simple explanationfor the above *Kool-Aid*

Mr. M

I've been doing this every day for 5 and a half years. I've seen your idiotic comments here a THOUSAND times, for sure. Do you really think I'm "scared?!"

m said...

So,
If you are not "scared" what pains you so?

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

it pains me that my readers are totally incapable of discussing the topic at hand. Which tells me alot about my ability to attract intelligent readers...

which doesn't put you in good company either...

m said...

Why does Hirhurim attract intelligent commentators?
Why does Seforim blog?
Why does DovBear?
That may help you out.
My feeling is that your blog is mostly Chabad centered and defends the indefensible.Ukoyudua, Chabad attracts mostly people who don't want to think to much on their own

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

some of those blogs attract mostly intelligent kofrim. If you like that, then by all means, join them.

We have limits here, they don't.

If I wanted to I could also attract alot better writers. If I'd sell my soul to the d---l.

m said...

While we are talking about the "topic at hand" which nobody wants to discuss.
What is there to discuss, here.You've repeated your point ad nauseum that everyone loves Lubavitch besides two or three "haters".
What chidush is there with Fishoff adding his two cents that Lubavitch offers kosher food worldwide?

Hirshel Tzig - הירשל ציג said...

the same chiddush that you "Mr. intelligent" offered here about Meshichisten and Boreinu.

and you're noch the smart one !

Yup, we don't know that he had a Kolle in Har Tzvi, has a weekly Michat Chinuch shiur in his house a black of Eley hacohen (and who his shver was).

Interestingly, he is mikubal (proportionatly). He has a sefer that goes on Moadim. The lomdus is not yishi-vish.

For clarity, I was referring to the Noahite flashcards that I don't see so much anymore.

I did not add any chiddush about Meshichisten
What I want addressed is how come this dangerous phenomenon which has born No Fasting and Boreinuniks and is wiped under the carpet andnobody ishonest enough to discuss what went wrong to cause this.Who needs to take blame

yeruchem G said...

M

you're comparing apples and oranges here

seforim blog writes once a week or else, and he's some college guy with very little other things to do.

Hirhurim also, either takes interesting tshuves or things like that, other things from the news. very little opinion or writing going on there.

What Tzig does is unique, and half the time Lubavitch isn't even the topic

Go read up 5 years' worth and then get back to us

It also pains you that the "enemy" actually had a "veiter blick" and was right.

What all those blogs have in common is variety and originality. While you have plenty of new material, nearly all of it is about the same handful of old and long dead political feuds. Post some divrei torah, a couple of jokes, anything that gives your oylem something new to talk about, and you might be surprised.

m said...

Yeruchem,
Usually it's just copying something from Chadrei or some Lubavitch magazine.Or trying to convince the minnions that are starting to question the proverbial happenings in 770

yeruchem G said...

usually copying from Bechadrei? is that so?

you have a very short memory, my friend.

Cross Currents.
Intelligent articles.Attract intelligent responses.

we welcome you to frequent those sites more...

what we get from tzig is unique.

Harry just criticizes Charedim day and night and preaches how not to be too frum, just Orthodox lite. If you like lame stuff like that, then go ahead.

I beg to differ on the level of intelligence you see there...

Cross-Currents has a bunch of different writers, most of whom do that for a living

no comparison

Ok,

I write and comment on the news and on history, the fact that Kluger was discussed on HP means what?

I may have told this story before, but it's very troubling: I once got on a plane flying out of Ben-Gurion. Sitting next to me were a kid of about thirteen and his mother. They were obviously not chassidim and probably not frum: The kid didn't wear a kippa for most of the trip. But when I got on the plane (about 10 AM), he was wearing tefillin and davening. I imagine he'd just got them for his bar mitzvah and was excited about them- I do hope that's kept up! But then I saw that he had *two* pairs, Rashi and Rabbenu Tam, in bags with pictures of 770 on them. It's clear what happened: They were "mikareved" by a Chabadnik who told them that you need to wear two pairs. And that's just wrong: Most Jews wear one pair, and only Chabad wears a second before marriage. And this isn't cheap: That mother may well have shelled out a thousand extra dollars for something she really didn't have to do. And perhaps the worst thing is that the Chabadnik was probably completely sincere: It never occurred to him that most Jews don't do this, and that he should point out not just an alternative derech but the majority derech to this family.

m said...

How about an open discussionhow Lubavitch have endedup with a Rebbe as Moshiach campaign still going strong 16 years after his petirah?

I just don't get it.
If I was a Lubavitcher I would never let the powers that be get away with this nonsense.How come nobody questions how thiscame about?

Why won't you discuss that for example?

Another example:The Chersoner Genizah, which is a clear forgery, why no discussion about what makes it so important for Chabad to be "right" about thingsthey are clearly wrong about?
Why no discussions about following without ever questioning clear mistakes.

A big part of the Hirhurim blog runs the same way, Bitter about Slifkin,themselves,Women Prayers, Rabba, all Charidem are Ganovim.

evanstonjew said...

I would like to second the comment of anonymous 10:27.

This blog has the potential of being more than the other blogs cited. The Seforim blog is wonderful, and his bibliographies are incredible, but it has little to do with life and the memories of real people.

Everyone here knows 'things' worth knowing, some factual, some gossipy, but all endlessly interesting and important. The invective sucks and prevents people from asking more questions and learning more.

My suggestion is to confine discussions to facts, not evaluations. Thus some guy can say "Most of the Lubavitch youth are meshichisten." What should not be allowed is "And therefore you Tzig are a total retard..."etc.

There is no blog dealing with general chassidus comparable to Tzig. Most everyone here has some interest, personal or otherwise in chassidic rabbinical history. So why not go for it?
