"Torah Links" wants you to know that they're "ABSOLUTELY" not a Litvishe version of Chabad...























פון "מאמענט" מאגאזין

At first I thought that the interviewer was asking a loaded question, setting up the answer. But after seeing the full answer I'm not quite so sure anymore... It seems like these people would find some way to knock Chabad and their mivtzoyim. Just because. Then they kind of overstep their boundaries. Like, they're going too far is to distance themselves from Chabad. Only Torah קען באלייכטען א אידישע הארץ? Mitzvos can't do anything? What about a big shtreimel with the shpitzen blown into place using half a can of hairspray, can that באלייכט א אידישע הארץ? מי שמך לאיש Mr. Torah Links?Who told you that the point of being mekarev yidden is to גענצליך overturn a Yiddishe hartz? Who died and made you the boss of Torah and Kiruv?

We expect better journalism from מאמענט - you guys come out looking juvenille.

AND as far as Torh Links is concerned, I'd refer them to their mission statement. See below.

I never did quite understand the recent infatuation of Hungarian Jews with RAM....

You speak to them and you realize that for them there was no Baal Shem Tov. Not even a Yismach Moshe/Yetev Lev. And that breaks my heart. Whereas years ago ווער איז געגאנגען צו זיינע שיעורים? פארלוירענע נשמות אדער אזעלכע מענטשען that didn't fit in. Today they make him into some kind of guru, lehavdil. Guru is nice for people who grew up in secular society, but veise zokken people who drank coffee in Rodney need a guru? They need a shul with his name on it?And what's this gibberish about being a הייסע סאטמארע חסיד? and why am I not surprised that another Yankee Litvak is an admirer of the Satmar Rov?
