Since the passing of their late leader over three decades ago (previously as well, of course), members of the Chabad-Lubavitch faith have tried to foist their belief of their deceased Rebbe being the Messiah on the public in various ways. One manner they have employed was to post (illegal) posters on streets promoting him in that role (seen prominently in Eretz Yisroel, America, perhaps elsewhere too). But the public was not buying it, despite the delusions of the Chabadskers.
While some people just ignored the offensive stickers, others took the time and effort to make their displeasure and rejection of the Chabad-Lubavitch brazenness and lunacy quite clear for all to see. Here, for your viewing pleasure, we share some lively and vigorous reactions on NY streets to the Chabad-Lubavitch offensive delusions.
Many thanks to NY correspondent for the great images!

It's important to point out that no one outside of Chabad believes in their delusions. The problem is that very few people are willing to express their feelings on the subject. Instead they keep talking about how great Chabad is. There's no reason that a Rabbi ... can't say that he loves Chabad but is troubled by their antics but he won't. (edited)
ReplyDeleteThe Chabad-Lubavitch harass people who speak against them, they label them as "haters", practitioners of "sinas chinam", and so on, so understandably some people hesitate to do so publicly. But there is strong opposition to them nevertheless, even if it is not always visible to the unsophisticated and outsiders. Look in major orthodox publications, read between the lines. In Yeshivish publications there is little, if anything, of them, not by accident. That is because they know well the true agenda of Chabad-Lubavitch.
DeleteEven among Chasidim and Neo-Chasidim there is a distance. Chasidim and Neo-Chasidim in the know realize that Chabad-Lubavitch seeks to dominate, they believe their late leader was/is the greatest, that their teachings are the greatest, that they are the real Hasidism, and so on. Why are there seemingly no Chabad-Lubavitch speakers at the leading, flagship neo-Chasidic Cong. Aish Kodesh of R. Moshe Weinberger, for example? Not by accident. Rebbe Weinberger spent much time with them in his younger years, has their number, knows their agenda, and doesn't want to give it a foothold in his space.
The point is that there is strong reservation and opposition to them, and in time it is emerging more and more out into the open, as their arrogance, brazenness, chutzpah, etc., become more apparent to the masses.
One of my Rabbis is classic Litvish and he confirmed what you just wrote. He said that in the Yeshiva world Chabad is treated as if it doesn't exist.
