The Rotten Fruit of Chabad-Lubavitch - The Truth Behind Their Deceptive PR & Propaganda

A few days ago, a veteran Chabad-Lubavitch operative, Y.L Posner, passed away. Typically, his sect seized the opportunity for more PR in the guise of an obituary of its agent, which duped a non-Chabad website to run it.

In the extensive piece, a Long Island, New York State Assemblyman, Charles D. Lavine, was cited as a former student of the Lubavitcher, saying that he taught him to always do the right thing, even against "conventional wisdom", and adding that he loved him.

A naive, casual reader might be very impressed, and indeed such deceptions are the bread and butter of Chabad-Lubavitch PR, disseminated by Chabad-Lubavitch fake news media. However, those who know a bit more, or who exert themselves to do some fact checking and research, will know of a very different reality (thanks to those who educated me about Lavine).

So what am I driving at? Who really is Charles Lavine, the Chabad-Lubavitch product featured? 

To get a better understanding of who he is not difficult. Much of it is out in the open.

Wikipedia informs us as follows:

"Lavine supports LGBT rights including same-sex marriage as well as opposing gender discrimination.^[12] In 2009, he sponsored A7732 that would allow "same-sex couples the same opportunity to enter into civil marriages as opposite-sex couples".^[13] Lavine sponsored A5710, a bill that would prohibit "discrimination based on gender identity or expression." In 2011, Lavine renewed his support for this legislation.^[14]"

^{Lavine's official NYS Assembly web page informs us that} "Lavine is also a proud sponsor of the legislation that resulted in Marriage Equality in New York State." 

In other words Levine is a proud sponsor of toeivah "marriage", he boasts about it, as well other parts of the toeivah agenda, and more along such lines.

As if that was not enough, however, within the last year, Charles Lavine, the Chabad-Lubavitch disciple, went further, pushing New York State to rescind an old, venerable statute, and make adultery (!!!!) legal. Seems he was the guy (he is described as the sponsor) behind this outrage in the NYS Assembly, which was signed into law by the NYS Governor just a few months ago.

With such perversities on his resume, being a prominent leader in the assault on bedrock Biblical morality, which even the seven laws of Noah, which Chabad-Lubavitch claims to promote for all mankind, is diametrically opposed to, let alone the Torah of the Jewish nation, one might think that Chabad-Lubavitch would cut ties with him, or at least not advertise them. But no, the sect continues to proudly promote him, and claim him as a disciple. I guess as long as he attends their annual NYS capital reception for their late leader's birthday, he is okay with them. What a disgrace. What a shanda, another terrible Chillul Hashem, desecration of G-d's name, perpetrated by the Chabadskers.

There is an old saying that חב"ד ר"ת חמור בלי דעת (which also adds up to 770 in gematria). However, maybe that is too generous. I can see the ח rather standing for חזיר, a pig, the archetypical non-kosher animal, although it does have one kosher symbol of the two required. Our rabbis have taught us that it is rejected with extra vehemence, as when it lays down, it puts forth, displays, its split hooves, as if to say, look, I'm kosher. Similarly, with Chabad-Lubavitch, they take people which are very much not kosher, like Lavine, and promote him as if he was a proper Jew, as if they made him Torah observant. How shameful. How low can the Chabad-Lubavitch faith stoop for some PR.

We need to realize however, that this is not only about one case. This is just one of many, many cases. Chabad-Lubavitch sells out genuine Torah Judaism wholesale, and therefore we must stand steadfastly against them and their manifold deceptions. 

In the zechus of standing for the Emes and emphatically rejecting falsehood, may we merit redemption, speedily in our days.

'Very Few Have Learned How to Daven' - Rav Miller Tackles & Cures Davening Malaise

 In the Toras Avigdor English booklet for last week's sedra (p.14-15), חוקת, Rav Avigdor Miller zt"l speaks about davening a bit (p.14-15).

After describing too common Shul scenarios that fall far short of what davening should really be like, he tells us what must be done. What is his advice, his guidance? You need to train yourself to understand what you're saying... to put in time to learn tefillah. You must invest effort.

That means that פירוש המלים, understanding the meaning of the words and overall ideas in davening, and thinking of that while saying them, is the foundation of our עבודה שבלב, service of the heart. Just saying words doesn't cut it. That might be service of the lips, but we need service of the heart.

So get to learning some siddur (פשוט פשט, not פשעטלעך), and start enjoying a greater closeness to הקב"ה. It may seem too simple of a solution to some, but it is what must be done. והבא לטהר מסייעין אותו.

NY to Chabad-Lubavitch: Cut Out the Nonsense

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!

Manis Friedman Spouts Heresy - Leading Gadol Rav Aharon Feldman שליט"א Speaks Out

 Manis Friedman is a prominent, senior shliach of the Chabad-Lubavitch faith, representing them out of Minnesota, USA, for decades. He has a significant presence online. Like other representatives of that sect, who routinely go to far away places, and before audiences of people with meager knowledge of Judaism, posing as knowledgeable rabbis. The poor Jews (and gentiles) they target, to a great degree, woefully ignorant of true Torah Judaism, are too often fooled by the long beards and attire of the Chabad-Lubavitch agents. This is an old problem. Some people are unaware of it, others may just want to ignore it. But sometimes a problem gets so large that it must be addressed.

ב"ה, thank G-d, we have great genuine Torah leaders like Rav Aharon Feldman שליט"א, who has courageously called out and exposed Manis Friedman for his terrible dangerous deviations from the Torah (click to hear).

That alone is very important. However, people should realize that this problem is not limited to Manis Friedman alone. There are multiple other cases of Lubavitchers (e.g. Shmuley Boteach, Chaim Rapoport, Shlomo Litvin, etc., who have done such things. Another Lubavitcher attempted to defend Friedman, but fell quite short. And where is the establishment Chabad-Lubavitch HQ here, of Krinsky, Kotlarsky, et al, who claim to oversee their shluchim? Anyone hear a peep from them?

We also see clearly from this that the problems with Chabad-Lubavitch are by no means limited to their Xtian like beliefs regarding their late last leader. Their theology in general, and their activities cannot be assumed to be acceptable just by avoiding the Messiah issue (if that would be possible). Rather, no, they cannot be relied upon, and should be avoided across the board. Those interested in true Torah Judaism should rather consult a competent non-Lubavitch authority.

Att: Tzedek Association, ATIME, Bonei Olam, et al: IVF Mandates Are Not the Magic Solution

 This is not the typical type of thing typically discussed here, however, עת לעשות, there are times when we must do something different, like speaking out and standing up for fundamental principle, even if it is out of our regular area, even if others seem absolutely certain that another way is the only way to go.

There are multiple organizations promoting IVF, a complicated, expensive, and even dangerous modern medical intervention, to those struggling with infertility. In recent years multiple organizations and groups from the Jewish community have become heavily invested in it, to the point of lobbying heavily for the government and insurers to pay for such treatments. Jewish media is now prominently featuring a drive for a petition along such lines being pushed by Tzedek Association, an organization of a New Square Chasid.

 But is that really the best answer, the way to go? Must we always march in lockstep with the high priced medical-industrial complex, or might there be better ways to explore (in addition to the very important תשובה, תפילה, צדקה, וכו of course)?

Recently, a letter in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), a prominent American newspaper, pointed out major problems associated with IVF, and advocated for a much better (more effective, less painful, and a lot less expensive) alternative: Restorative reproductive medicine (RRM).

IIRRM is an organization supporting this approach around the world. The prominent Heritage Foundation has a report on it. So you see that it is not some quack doctor somewhere, but rather a very important and significant movement. It seems definitely something that should be explored. Throwing big money at problems is not necessarily the answer. Holistic living, spiritually and physically, can solve many problems, with the help of הקב"ה, Almighty G-d, of course. It would be admirable if Torah Jews would lead in this area, among others.

R. Eli Stefansky (MDY) speaks out against Meron-Rashbi Madness - Rashbi & Reb Shayale

 R. Eli Stefansky שליט"א, of Merkaz Daf Yomi (MDY) is a prominent Daf Yomi maggid shiur (and religious influencer/mashpia one might say too, in modern lingo), of late. 

I happened to recently hear some thoughts he shared about crazy Meron-רשב"י Lag Baomer obsessions of some, and their danger, followed by some clever humor, via a joke he shared connecting Meron & Kerestir. Worth a listen or watch (click to play).

Florida Leader's Passing Exposes Deep Deceit of Chabad-Lubavitch PR - Propaganda Machine

A prominent leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch faith, especially in Florida, Reb Sholom Lipskar, passed away the other day. As usual, his sect seized the opportunity for their PR and propaganda. But this time, it was so blatantly false, so outrageous and far from the truth, that it would not pass unnoticed, swallowed whole by the gullible masses. Someone called them out on it in a big way. This episode is worth noting for what it teaches us about their reliability and trustworthiness overall.

At a NY area website a blistering comment was posted taking issue with the Chabad propaganda that claimed that before Lipskar came to Miami Beach in 1969, the area lacked even very elementary basic Jewish infrastructure.

The commenter pointed out that actually Miami Beach had a (Torah Umesorah affiliated) day school from the 1940's, Orthodox Congregation Beth Israel from the 1950's (Rabbi Berel Wein שליט"א later served there for a number of years), mikveh, and more (there was also Rabbi Stern from the mid-1950's). That makes the point very well that the Lubavitch obituary is a disgusting lie and libel. 

But actually it is even worse than that. Because the Chabad-Lubavitch propaganda machine in its piece after the passing of Reb Lipskar actually contradicted its own words less than three years earlier. Then, when another prominent leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch faith in S. Florida, Reb Pinchas Weberman, passed away, they were peddling a different story In that piece they said that Weberman went down to Miami Beach in 1960, founded a synagogue, at around the same time another Lubavitch leader (Reb Korf) went there to start Lubavitch of Florida.

So now they say that in 1969 there was no Jewish infrastructure in that area before Lipskar's arrival? What a joke, what a disgrace. 

ב"ה however, this has served an important purpose, though. Bringing to light, in great relief, how unreliable, biased, brazen, and corrupt Chabad-Lubavitch too often is. And it also is connected to a whole attitude among way too many of them, their fantasies viewing themselves as the pioneers of Yiddishkeit, even when the facts are not in accordance with such a claim and belief. But let us not be fooled.

From here we have a giant בנין אב, a lesson to apply overall, to be very wary of what they say. Caveat emptor.

שקר אין לו רגלים...וחותמו של הקב"ה אמת

In the zechus of Emes and תורת אמת may we be zoche to כל טוב.
