See his latest thoughts on Tablet Magazine's attacks on Hasidic Rebbes
Blood is family. Family and friends. Water is, well, I'm not quite sure what water is. I guess it means acquaintances, fellow bloggers... I'm not here to attack or "expose" Reb Sucher. His story is well-known, and he makes no bones about his past life. And you might say that I can very much relate to him, the defending his old friends part. There were several occasions lately where I could've written about stuff in the frum media, but I knew that the people who would REALLY enjoy it are the haters, and why give them fodder? And you might say that I admire his courage to stand up and defend his people. Especially if they're (read: Tablet magazine) just hocking. This despite the fact that Tablet is using the same kind of logic Reb Ysoscher would use on any other topic. But אלץ האט א שיעור. ביז צו די פופיק. I can write about these topics, not you, Tablet Magazine! So maybe there's hope for Reb Ysoscher, after all? אפשר וועט ער "קומען צום שכל" און צוריק ווערן א היימישע איד?
Are you saying Lubavitch can use all the help it can get?
