Openly Messianic Lubavitcher Installed as Chief Rabbi of Moldova, Elaborate Cover-up Follows

An openly meshichist follower of Chabad-Lubavitch, wearing a yechi yarmulka, with a messianic paroches in the background, with a photo of his late Rebbe on display describing him as King Moshiach (in Russian) was recently installed in a public ceremony as chief rabbi of Moldova, by Rav Kalman Ber, and Lubavitcher shluchim director R. Mendy Kotlarsky.

True that Moldova is a poor backwater, but for a רב הראשי of מדינת ישראל, and R. Mendy Kotlarsky to be part of it? What a joke, makes a mockery of purported opposition of such figures to the Chabad-Lubavitch messianism that maintains that their long deceased (over thirty years) Rebbe is Moshiach now.

This can be seen clearly here, in this report, in the video and photos. 

1) New Rav with yechi yarmulka at ceremony.

2) Messianic paroches (top part is so as well, has yechi on it, can be seen elsewhere).

3) Display of photo of late Rebbe with Russian script describing him as Moshiach.

Note as well all the yechi yarmulkas among the attendees, that didn't happen accidentally.

It could be that Rav Bar was blindsided, didn't realize what he was getting into until he arrived, but Kotlarsky knew, Chabad Moldova is a longtime messianic hotbed. Even now, Chabad.org doesn't seem to have a report on the event.

What was quite interesting was what followed later. The story was carried at some other sites, e.g. YWN, COL Live, and as paid jcn publicity, but with a big change, great difference. These later versions were scrubbed of these open messianic manifestations! Some propagandist evidently "cleansed" the coverage to avoid complications.

As the saying goes, however, you can't fool all of the people all of the time. This site is not fooled and its readers should not be either.

Beware of the Chabad-Lubavitch fraudsters, don't fall for those scam artists, say no to Chabad con men.

From One Folly to Another - TYH Hero Rebbe Shows Us Where His Foolish Path Leads

 Update: Links fixed (sorry, there was an error involving the links earlier, now corrected and usable). 

We have written here multiple times about the serious error of the so called "Nikelsburger Rebbe" and his TYH and other followers, promoting the incorrect, and absurd notion that "every Yid is a big tzaddik". This dangerous naivete (charitably speaking - it could deserve a stronger description) is not even fitting for the tots that he used to teach, let alone adults. It displays and advocates a deliberate and shocking lack of הבדלה, the spurning of that so important ability that we seek with the דעת that it goes together with, which we daven for regularly.

עבירה גוררת עבירה, שטות גוררת שטות

This summer we saw where such foolishness can lead. As reported at YWN.

This fool then didn't suffice with erasing and blurring the distinctions between different levels among Yidden, but he proceeded to do so between different faiths as well, Jews and non-Jews, by chanfing (חנופה ר"ל) an outside visiting liberal soft on crime politician, the type of which we suffer from, ר"ל, showering him with multiple brachos that were made for כלל ישראל (see video).

This so called Rebbe should step down, announce that he is no Rebbe. He needn't disappear, he can say that he is a שמש instead, that way he can continue to serve kugel, chulent, other refreshments, and direct parking in the Catskills, but spare us the confused ideas, and lack of Torah discernment displayed.

In the zechus of appropriate הבדלה may we be zoche to additional דעת from above.

Chabad Drinking Culture: Camp Version

Anash.org raises the alarm to fellow Lubavitcher "Chasidim".

Chabad-Lubavitch Alcoholic Culture (cont.) - Breathalyzers Campaign, and Girls Drinking

 If you didn't believe what has long been known and revealed (here and elsewhere) of the deep and historic connection between Chabad-Lubavitch "Chassidus" and hitting the bottle, here are some additional illustrations that just came to light to consider.

1) Breathalyzer project:

A campaign has been launched to distribute breathalyzers to Chabad centers in advance of the upcoming thirty second death anniversary of their late leader on 3 Tammuz, later this week.

The Chabad-Lubavitch drinking culture is very revealing of the sect.

2) Female Chabadskers joining in:

The problem is not limited to male members of their faith (!).

This is not some outsider making this up, this is coming from insiders of  Chabadianity, longtime practitioners of Lubavitchism.

ב"ה, thank G-d I was raised Jewishly, with traditional Torah attitude in this area.

Prominent Chasidic Author/Speaker Pleads for End to Chabad-Lubavitch Drinking Culture

Chaim Dalfin, a prominent Lubavitcher author/speaker/propagandist recently issued and disseminated impassioned, forceful pleas against the deep-rooted major problem of drinking and drunkenness in the Chabad-Lubavitch faith, among his fellow "Chasidim".

Exhibit #1

Exhibit #2

You can see from how he speaks how deep rooted and widespread the problem is. Even when their late leader tried to reign it in, he was not successful.

Note the large amount of comments and heated reactions as well.

Will a sect of bearded drunkards bring Moshiach? Would you be interested in an investment opportunity in an old landmark bridge in Brooklyn perhaps?

Interestingly, Dalfin's family is relatively new to the Chabad-Lubavitch faith, having converted from Vizhnitz Hasidism in the post WWII period.

May הקב"ה open our eyes and guide us in the proper Torah way, and may the confused, both individuals and sects, return to true Judaism.

Every Yid IS NOT a Big Tzadik - Rabbis Issue Public Warning About Predatory Scammers

Prominent rabbis, Litvish, Yekkish, Chasidish, speak out clearly in warning.

 More fallout from false and dangerous fantasies spread by TYH group and others, notions that lay the ground for predation and victimization of the naive, G-d forbid.

Follow the old Torah and true Rabbis, reject the dangerous new TYH presudo-Judaism nonsense.

Chabad-Lubavitch hosts Ramadan Iftar Seudah

 How low has Chabad-Lubavitch fallen? How low will they stoop for some PR and politicking?

I was quite surprised to see that no less than an official spokesman for them, who tweets with the handle @Chabad Lubavitch, recently hosted a Ramadan Iftar meal in Crown Heights. Now I understand wanting good relations with other groups, that is admirable, however, it is our way to maintain a separation in the religious sphere. 

Not only that, he was joined by Belzer and Agudath Israel representatives at the event as well.

This shows the hefkeirus in Chabad-Lubavitch nowadays. No living Rebbe, איש הישר בעיניו יעשה. Where is Yudel Krinsky, Shemtov, etc.? A lone voice protested online, but otherwise there seemed to be just silence along with support from a major Chabad-Lubavitch outlet.

Does Agudath Israel not exercise oversight over its representative? Belz? It's true that their participation raises serious questions as well, however, it seems that they just joined, while Chabad-Lubavitch was the driving force behind it.

Get together with others, work together for good things, sure. But there are still certain boundaries set by our faith and rabbis, that stay in place.

Does anyone think that the late Lubavitcher Rebbe would endorse such a thing?

What will Chabad do next? Host an Easter egg roll on the lawn of 770?

May we be zoche to תשובה שלמה and שלום על ישראל בקרוב.

The Contempt & Condescension of Chabad-Lubavitch for Non-Chabad Yidden - Bombshell Revelation from Teachings of their Rebbes

 The massive Chabad-Lubavitch propaganda apparatus endeavors to spread among the population various deceptions, such as 1) Chabad-Lubavitch is normative Torah Judaism, 2) Chabad-Lubavitch is normative Chasidism, 3) Chabad-Lubavitch is the vanguard, the leaders of Judaism/Chasidism, 4) Their leader is the leader of the Jewish people (נשיא הדור), 5) They respect, love, get along with every Jew, etc., etc. The truth however, is at variance with these claims. 

Let us just examine now one of the multiple, or should I say manifold, Chabad deceptions.

Let us see how Chabad-Lubavitch views Jews that do not belong to their sect, in the words of no less than the sixth and seventh leaders of the Chabad-Lubavitch faith, their late Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, and his predecessor and father-in-law, their late Rebbe Joseph Isaac (Yosef Yitzchok) Schneerson.

The context of this revelation is a book of guidance for matchmaking and marriage based on Chabad-Lubavitch teachings, in which the following appears under a heading inquiring about there being Possibly Someone Better Non-Anash (meaning non Lubavitch)?

Question: What about a Non-Lubavitch shidduch/match? 

Answer of Rebbe Mendel Schneerson, seventh Chabad-Lubavitch Rebbe - 

There is a well known saying of my father in law, the previous Rebbe, that our ziburyos (worst) is better than their idiyos (best).

The Hebrew - Yiddish version can be seen here, letter 673.

So there you have it. The contempt of Rebbe Joseph Isaac Schneerson for non-Chabad, echoed by his son-in-law Rebbe Menachem Mendel.

Despite all the propaganda, whether old or new (like a recent hagiography by Chabad-Lubavitch propagandist David Eliezrie on Rebbe Yosef Yitzchok), beyond the noise, the PR made for naive and unknowing outsiders, the words written for insiders reveal the true face of the beliefs of the sect.

Know the truth and don't be duped by the Chabad-Lubavitch fraudsters.

Real Yidden Counter TYH Mishugas With Flair - Great New Torah Swag & Animated Music Video

Boruch Hashem, I have seen more and more people speaking out and sounding off lately against the distortions and perversions of Torah Yiddishkeit emanating from the neo-Chasidic camp, with a particular focus on the TYH Nation outfit of suburban NYC that we posted on here some time ago. Hey, I know it can take time for some people to recognize the danger of some of these things that we may discern at an earlier stage בס"ד with our penimiyus-penetrating hard core Litvak radar. There is a tendency for people to try to ignore them, wish them away, bend over backward to give them the benefit of the doubt, to judge them favorably. But after a while, the truth emerges, and more people understand.

Here are some impressive, more recent, laudable initiatives by talented people to provide classical Torah based alternatives to TYH swag and swagger that have just come to my attention.

They may be cute and clever, but there is deepness and authenticity as well.

1) JUST LEARN TORAH SWAG (full version at Instagram - click both ways, back and forth, for full selection).

JLT website (when I went there previously I saw a wide line of great messages, but now it seems to be only showing one. If that is what you are seeing, check them out at Instagram for fuller version, over ten different ones, as above).

2) Emeseh Yid presents REAL YIDDEN (great video, song with animation).

Absorb and enjoy!

H/t to the friend who shared relevant link with multiple others the other day, where more, along with some discussion, can be seen.

Note: There is room for improvement and tweaking of messages at the recommended sites linked to, I would express some things differently, but nevertheless, overall, they are great additions.

Scathing Exposé on "Frum" Affinity Fraud

 The 5TJT paper out of the NYC area has just published a very detailed hard-hitting exposé-update related to the extremely serious problem of "frum" affinity fraud, in which Chabad-Lubavitch features in multiple roles:

1) The fraudster featured prayed at a prominent Lubavitch congregation, Chabad of the Five Towns, headed by a son in-law of the late Chabad-Lubavitch leader Moshe Kotlarsky. 2) Chabadskers were victims of it (among others). 3) 5TJT publisher Larry (ארי' לייב) Gordon, a Modern semi-Lubavitcher, has, to his great credit, exposed and pursued this (and related) cases, keeping pressure on, using his powerful platform to call for justice.

We have written here in the past about the great danger of the faux-Jewish notion, promoted by some (particularly among the neo-Chasidic as well as some of the old Hasidic, and some of the plain naive), that "every Yid's a big tzadik", and how such fantasies can lead to great danger, by making people more vulnerable to various scam artists and fraudsters.

Kudos to Larry Gordon for his great work in this area, on this issue. הלואי more people would follow him in this regard. 

ארי' שאג, מי לא יירא - We encourage Larry (Leibel) Gordon to continue acting like a lion here, in pursuit of justice and restitution for the many victims. He is not buying the "new religion" of "every Yid's a big tzadik". He's been around the block enough times to know that it is also a scam.
