....היו ימים



Ravitz was b'etzem a nice guy. Gafni had a nice beard going then. I guess they told him that for parnassah he needs to keep it "neat." I think had they kept the anti-Chabad rhetoric out of their platform - and it WAS in there - they'd have had a much easier time breaking away from the Gerrer stranglehold on the Agudah. Now, we just look at it as machlokes.

was just released. Who did the Russian Jews ask if they can leave? Who was getting videos from Russia? Who was sending shluchim secretly before it was good PR to send?

IIRC, the anti-Chabad rhetoric was basically the only reason they broke off from Agudah.

dlz, no. Hirshel got it right. It was simply anti-Chabad rhetoric. The yeshivish-Gerrer coalition could have survived differences over Chabad if not for very long-simmering disagreements which finally led to the split.
