How come כל צרוע וכל זב (excuse the expression) gets his or her shiurim on קול הלשון but Chabad is TOTALLY blacklisted?
All I see in Hebrew is some Shiurim in תניא from Reb Itche Mayer Morgenshterin, and in Yiddish we have some shiurim from one Reb Menachem Erlanger. B'kitzer, if there is Chabad it's from non-Chabad sources.

....שישנם כאלו שאין שום היכר בינו ליום אחר
A letter from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, זצוקללה"ה נבג"מ זי"ע to Reb Yitzchok Dubov of Manchester, England, where among other things he speaks about the יום סגולה ל"ג בעומר, where to some people it's just another day.... See 'אות ה - but the Rebbe is מלמד זכות on them too, I guess.

Is ל"ג בעומר R E A L L Y the day that רשב"י passed away?
Yes, you אויפגעקלערטע חברה, it is! But the truth is, it's not about Lag BaOmer, now is it? You just found a topic you think you can be right about. But you have general issues with the veracity of Jewish customs and laws.

How Rav Elyashiv - grandson of the Leshem - האט געפראוועט Lag BaOmer
Read the left sidebar, please.
Needless to say he wasn't a big fan of it, even if his zeide, the Baal HaLeshem, was a big mekubal. But then again, he wasn't a big fan of much anything, other than the גמרא.

It's depressing to watch - these are our leaders and these are their solutions....
Watch it here, (for non-Youtube users)
The first depressing thing is that N Gottlieb is still on the warpath, not with blogs and such, but with clips and leitzim. It depresses you because who knows what he'll force these poor Rabbonim to do. Nobody wants to be left of this "historic" asifa; they think this is Mihalovic, 1866. Then there are the "brilliant" solutions that some of them offer ------ מה נאמר ומה נדבר, it's poshut embarrassing. But Gottlieb is persistent, he's terribly embarrassed that he even, nebach, has to speak about such lowly things at these meetings, but he's doing it for all of us, he's saving our generations. הצלת הדורות. Don't get me wrong, there's a problem and we need to deal with it, but it's not very reassuring to see what is being done. Maybe the Litvishe Rabbonim asifa will have better solutions. Let's hold our breath and see.

Chassidim and their funny beliefs...
FYI, "אדמו"ר אור ישראל מסטאלין זיע"א" was born in תרכ"ט, which made him all of 5 (!) years old at the time of the story. By the way, Reb Hirsh Margolis was the elter zeide of Dov Eliach, mechaber of ",הגאון" and no fan of Chassidim. Funny how these things work.

More like Eytan Kobre discovers Kiruv... and doesn't like that Chabad gets credit
That's just too bad, Eytan. I realize that to get in with the Mishpacha crowd you need to get on the Lubavitch-bashing bandwagon, but you should've sat this one out, Eytan'le. Some things are best left untouched. DATA and the wonderful kiruv work they do, not withstanding.

The Boston attack in pictures
Thanks to he who sent it to me. Pretty simple stuff. How come the police and other security personnel can't see what others can?

The sign may be the reason...
It's a shtikkel problem with Heimishe businesses. They cry about people going to the big department stores or buying online, but they do nothing to change their policies. Look at that big ugly sign right behind the cashier. yuk. At least make it less conspicuous, so that I don't think twice or three times about buying in your store. My G-d! It looks like a disclaimer before a risky operation or a non-FDA approved drug. I realize that it's a small out-of-town community, but still. Isn't it supposed to be a "shlichus" venture? Try and be a little nicer and you'll see how business will improve.
