Is the "Lubavitcher Position" defined by Reb Mendele, Reb Yitzek or Reb Berish ? Because if you look at the latter's (and his son's) view on most issues at hand, maybe, just maybe, he would be just as vigilant, if not more so, about Zionism, Ivrit and other stuff that got watered down as years went by - and dollars started trickling in. Same goes for Ahavas Yisroel, Reb Sucher of Belz or even Reb Zalmen Halberstam's grandfathers - all Halberstams without exception, prior to him, had a way stiffer stand on Zionism and Ivrit and whatnot then Satmar ever did.<BR/><BR/>If you think that "Hungarians" invented and perpetuated machloikes , you're severely deluded. Starting with Reb Zalmen Borochovich's rogue strain of teachings that ended up being vigorously opposed by the very people who were the closest to him (think R' Avrohom haMalach, R' Avrohom Katz and R' Mendel Horodenker), both Russian and Polish chassidim, going back hundreds of years, set the golden standard of machloikes and krigerei. The reason behind perpetual splintering amongst Maggid's chassidim since Maggid's passing was nothing other then very active unwillingness on part of Reb Zalman's people to accept otherwise universally accepted, by the rest of Talmidei haMaggid, leader, whose name we should leave out of this.<BR/><BR/>From that point on, both Russian and Polish chassidus thrived on persistent warfare, disagreements and quarrels. There is nothing wrong with it - in fact, it's the sign of thing being done right, and so says Rashi on ויחן שם ישראל . But don't try to paint those idyllic unified derheibene Teishvei Nevel who never hurt a fly being corrupted by the evil Magyarosatmarsnagkhazaren who aren't even jewish and whose only concern in life is over how much Lieber's potato chips will Five Towns not consume this year because of the boycott. <BR/><BR/>By the way, who is that individual whom Reb Mendel calls a mechutzaf in Hisvaduyeis 5745 volume 4 pages 2227-2228 ?<BR/><BR/>And by another way, do you know that some 95% of people under age 30 outside of Chabad - including Satmar and rest of "Poland" - have no idea that there ever was such a thing as boycott of their products; while most young Gezhe Anash (sometimes of Moroccan distillate) are still very vigilant about ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-28869862332141335832007-08-22T00:59:00.000-04:002007-08-22T00:59:00.000-04:00I am in a Bizarro world here, no?I am in a Bizarro world here, no?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-49269615342553386572007-08-21T22:44:00.000-04:002007-08-21T22:44:00.000-04:00Anon 5:13You ever met a chasidisher yid as Yosef I...Anon 5:13<BR/>You ever met a chasidisher yid as Yosef Itche Ofen?

When the Alter Rebbe was arrested the chsidim sold their silver atoros to pay for the expenses of getting him out of prison, and since then they have not been restored. And the little hole is the Alter Rebbe's innovation, in the siddur, in order to keep the tzitzis from slipping off the corner. And the pattern of chulyos in sets of three is the Alter Rebbe's interpretation of the ge'onim.Milhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350874508580081286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-22027952241746112832007-08-17T14:49:00.000-04:002007-08-17T14:49:00.000-04:00SchneurIn matter of fact, in the 50 year Yortzeit ...Schneur<BR/>In matter of fact, in the 50 year Yortzeit pamphlet they also write that these same words were said to the Rashag when he was visiting the Belzer Rov ZYA, he asked in the name of the FR what is the Belzer Rovs view on the newly created Medina, and the answer went something along the lines as you write, quite positive, <BR/><BR/>In the Bilgerier rov Reshimoth he quotes his brother the Belzer Rov as saying I can not be on the same page with Kanoim <BR/>powerfull words<BR/><BR/>One of the things that amazes you with Satmar is, that they know every derech better then the closest family and talmidim <BR/>the examples are many, but I write just a few,<BR/><BR/>Belz, the SR claimed to be the real chosid of Reb YD the 3rd Rebbe vs his sons.<BR/><BR/>Sanz, the SR knew the Sanzer derech better then the Klausenburger a straight grandson and was breathing Sanz 24/7<BR/><BR/>Chasam Sofer, the SR knew the Derech chasam sofer better then the Preshburger rov R'akiva Sofer and the Erlauer Rov and Reb Yosef Naftli ShternAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-10429099464271802132007-08-17T02:16:00.000-04:002007-08-17T02:16:00.000-04:00Schneur, Schneur - it's chodesh Ellul.

In the special Yarchon issued by Belz in memory of the 50th Yorzayt of the Belzer rav, (the cover was featured on this site several weeks ago) there appears a special section of zichrones etc written by the Bilgroyer rav about his brother. I did not have the time to go through it carefully, but its of graet interest both in terms of editorial content and its unusual photographs of the rav and his family. One remark caught my eye when asked in 1949 about the creation of Israel, the belzer rav said that "zum hant " (immediately- right now) this is a great yeshua, its a makom miklat for the survivors. This is a free account of what he said.<BR/>Tell me rabosai , what makes the Satmarer rebbe more "odif" in this case, was the Belzer ruv one iota less of a zaddik than the Satmarer, why does everyone need to accept the Satmar position on Israel.

From the article I linked above:<BR/><BR/>"However, sources close to the younger Teitelbaum in Jerusalem accused Aaron Teitelbaum of departing from the ways of previous Satmar rebbes. Aaron Teitelbaum, these sources said, is considered more moderate in his stance vis-à-vis Zionist and modernity. <BR/><BR/>"His wife speaks Hebrew at home," said the source, who spoke fluent Hebrew. "This is considered a compromise to Zionist influences. He also meets with rabbis who do dealings with the Zionist regime, including officials in the Jerusalem Municipality." <BR/><BR/>Doesn't sound like a staunch Anti-Z to me. Indeed, R' Aharon sounds downright pragmatic in this clip.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Der Yid et al can be very vocal and likely speak for those who still hold from der alte heim. However, they are not the only voice in a community of 1/4 million. You want to criticise the neanderthals who hold that way then do so.
