כנראה אז דער אמשינאווער רבי האט נישט גוט געקענט אונגארישע אידן....

בבחינת the grass is always greener on the other side: The Amshinover Rebbe zt"l says in the shtikkel "המחלוקת גרועה מהכל" on page 1 that the Ungarishe Yidden had less makhlokes, and therefore the שטן didn't have as much כח there as he had in פולין. Unless he knew something that we Hungarians didn't know about פולין. Was מחלוקת so bad in פולין pre-WW2? Was it Ger vs. Alexander? Ger vs. Everybody Else? Meileh if he would say that the matzav היהדות was better in Marmures than in Poland איז ניחא. But just מחלוקת? Can anybody enlighten us here?

    Who said the machlokes had to be between chassidus. Maybe he meant on an individual level. Between one Jew and another.

    I always hear Marmarosher being ridiculed by other Ingrisher.

    The שנאה was that the chutzpahdiker Poilisher Yidden refused to believe that the dor has only one Nosi and he recently moved to Poland from Russia. The שנאת ישראל involved in refusing to give everything away to the Lubavitcher Rebbe is worth a Holocaust.

    I guess the Amshinoiver never heard of a town that was called Munkach

    Being a half breed, I can tell you there is a big difference between Hungarian "noise" (they will break your bones, take you to the hospital, care for you until you're dead and then make a massive Keren to support your family - and Polish Sinah - if you cross them, they will bury you and not look back..
