Hirshel:
The Alter family, more specifically the children of the Rebbe the Pnei Menachem, have a certain gene that keeps them from holding back what they have on their chest. They need to say it, come what may. It's Really not Gerer style. This story is so typical. A chareidi family coming to a Chabad house to stay for Shabbos but they still think the shluchim can not be trusted on the food. They want to cook their own food and bake their own challah. And get this: here is is a new low; They ask for mevushal wine since the other wine would be nesech. He also claims his father was from all the sons the real mamshich of the Imrei Emes. Besides the nigleh in his talks he was a very hartzige person like the Imrei Emes. He said there are still a lot of shiurim from his father that he wrote himself, they need a lot of work.
This was too hot even for Hydepark or the blogs, so they took it out. But we bring it to you, just to give all the other lines some perspective. "Vos heist" perspective? Well, There are lots of recipients of his sharp mind and tongue over the course of the 492+ pages. Lubavitch, The Avi Ezri, Karlin, Ozherov (why him?) Belz, his nephew the current Rebbe, and the list goes on. Supposed friends and adversaries. We all saw what WE liked and laughed, and maybe didn't like some other line that was about people we like and care for. You might say that the only ones who didn't GET it were Satmar and some of its satellite groups! Isn't that a doozy. Here the Satmorim are screaming bloody moideh all those years that the Gerrer are apikorsim and they're totally ignored! They get love and respect in return, as if Itche Meir wasn't dragged through the mud all those years. SO if you liked when he attacked Chabad or The Avi Ezri then you need to like all the rest, including the Hasmottis. And if you believed or liked nothing - !אשריך
I'm in the picture, I was with RMK at the PM's house that day, and you can see me, albeit only the "shpitz shtrahmel..." I almost was at the AE's house too, We tried to see him, but he wasn't feeling well that day. We also visited the Erlauer, Rav Wosner and some others.
