Your natural abilities and the thoughts you express are highly readable. A blog is not meant to be a research library or road show. It is basically a public DIARY that you are willing to share with others and so far it seems that many people enjoy reading what's bothering you and what's on your mind because you are able to identify the important issues, describe and explain them and place them before the world for more discussion if that's what they want to do.<br /><br />No doubt, even if you'd write five paragraphs of what went through your mind every other day, people would read, and enjoy, your blog even more. In any case you have maybe become a little too pedantic and even specialized over the years. You express what's on the mind of the frum "everyman" and you do it well!<br /><br />Don't run from your own spreading fame. I could even see you becoming a guest speaker one of these days.

As long as the alienated Jews were just a small group in CH and Chabad that influence was still perculating, but once a critical mass of BT's was acheived , I think it really hit Chabad.My little present day contact with Lubavitch communities seem to indicate that many young Lubavitch people themselves could use kiruv . So something went wrong . I will just conclude that perhaps the derech of the Galician Hungaian community of changing America via the birthing room in hospitals and by building communites was the right way to go. I know they too have issues , but they have succeded beyond the wildest dreams of anyone.As for kiruv perhaps the model of Belz is the way to go with commitment to outreach , but commitment to retention of community values, culture and standards as well. Lubavitch would have been more successful getting people into Judaism but reserving the staus of Chabad chasid for those commited to Orthodoxy beyond the hat or the cult of personality.schneurnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-19614517888581583392010-02-25T10:06:29.165-05:002010-02-25T10:06:29.165-05:00"How many charadie Jews live in Australia out..."How many charadie Jews live in Australia outside of chabad?"<br /><br />Isaac Balbin will hopefully give us a better answer.<br />From the little I know:There is a Hungarian/Chasidic community called Adass Yisroel with about 200 families.Besides for that there is a Lakewood Kolel community, a Gerer shtibel a Belzer one too if I"m not mistaken and a number of other black hat non Chabad shuls.<br />From what I understand, if you consider Chabad chareidi, there approximately and equal amount of Lubavitch and other black hatters and then the larger Mizrach/Modern Orthodox kehillas.So Melbourne has quite a large shomrei shabbos community out of a total of 50 000 Jews.<br />Additionally many frum Jews travel to Australia during sefira for whatever reason.<br />The Lubavitcher is from what I know a daas yochid in this issuesimchanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-71036013686597766062010-02-25T06:39:54.287-05:002010-02-25T06:39:54.287-05:00Simcha
