This is an affluent neighborhood with approximately between 100.000 to 150.000 Yidden, mostly secular, if not outright anti-religious. The area is served by three shluchim. None of them was in attendance on Pessach, nor was there any replacement,which means NO distribution of Hand-Matzos, NO public ( Chabad )Sedorim and NO Seudas Moshiach.

It could be that the mainstream has simply written Lubavitch off when it comes to terms to being "normal".Basically viewing them as being schizoid, appreciating the good work they do, while realizing that the movement also incorporates a lot of madness.Geraldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-21419235336533303932009-04-17T09:56:00.000-04:002009-04-17T09:56:00.000-04:00Not sure I understand the point of this post.

I have friends who still have not left after a decade in kollel, not because the are any shtarker then those that left but because the financial obligations never hit them yet for one reason or another. I fargin them their nice houses and shiny cars, the torah tells me to. I fargin them the menuchas hanefesh of sitting and learning without worrying about the next mortgage payment, the torah tells me to. Agav, for me, I find the couple of hours that I am able to put into learning now after a full days work has more of an effect on my life then the full days that I was spending in the bais medrash a few years ago. But I don't see how either mehalich is right or wrong. Is it his problem that someone is willing to pay his way?
