Now in "Jewish Action" magazine

I haven't been able to read it all, which means I cannot yet comment, but there is a slight mention of the fact that this is all very strange to a hereto very rational crowd, which you may have called the neo-Litvish crowd, since it did differ, albeit very slightly, from the mother country, Lithuania. I would also venture to say that many in that crowd, especially the old-timers raised on Hershey bars and Bnei Akiva, resent the fact that they're ultimately being told that the way it was just isn't good enough. Much like the black hatters who go off to the Yeshivos Hakdoshos in Eretz Yisroel tell their parents upon returning home... Again this is all without fully reading the article....

Q&A with Rabbi Moshe Weinberger

I'm not sure many Lubavitchers are thinking about גימ"ל תמוז as much as Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb and the Jewish Action

As least not in an as serious אופן as RTHW. First he speaks to Steve Savitsky.

Then he wants us to know about the Torah. The Rebbe's Torah. Because truthfully the Rebbe's Torah - as is true every Tzaddik - is the means by which to connect to him. It's nice to hear stories and mofsim and even to be inspired by the בכיות on a גרינעם מיטוואך. But it's all about the Teyreh. Then I happen to open the Jewish Action today and what do I see? 20 pages and a special section on the Rebbe! The section entails the following:

1) An unparalleled leader - Rabbi Jonatan Sacks
2) Why the Lubavitch movement thrives in the absence of a living Rebbe
3) The Rebbe and the Rav - Rabbi A. Rakeffet-Rothkoff
4) The Contribution of the Lubavitcher Rebbe to Torah Scholarship

It's just nice to see.
