Is Chabad the only ones that don't thank Gd for the wars in Al Hanisim?
Guest speaker came into Chabad of CLE last shabbos and gave a whole speech explaining why it says Al Hamilchamos in Al Hanisim
Rule #1: Know thy crowd  ;D

You haven't lived until you've driven a minivan with a menorah on top through an underground parking garage and emerged unscathed.

Definitely a pro.

Is that why your car has a Chanukah reminder indicator light? to remind you to be mindful of the clearance?

Simple answer is because the Alter Rebbe didn't put it in his siddur.

We have the benefit of a founder putting together a siddur. Don't need to rely on anyone else's siddurim. So we have clarity as to what to say, how, etc.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

We don't like to talk about mashiach that much. In general we avoid it when we can.

I could answer אילו ידעתיו הייתיו. But there's no reason (or justification) to go that far.

It is possible that שער הכולל explains it. I didn't check.

That was mostly post arizal.
I'm sure it was inadvertent, but why couldn't you just say that it's a pizmon that the alter Rebbe didn't include in his siddur, without being condescending?

I fully apologize if I came across as being condescending. Was totally not my intention.

The title of this thread is "Chabad Minhagim: Pros & Cons". My addition about the benefit that Chabad has was meant as pointing out a pro, in that we don't have any doubts regarding what to say and what not. We (mostly) don't need to rely on outside sources.

It should also be taken in the entire context of DDF in general and this thread in particular (read the first few posts of this thread) which is with humor and a light heart.
