If there's a question about how "real" the Rebbe is, then weddings aren't your issue here....
Lol.

I'm personally more bothered by the actual wedding. Just explaining what's being said.
I understand what is being said. I also understand why.
What if Cuomo had a weeding for his child with 7k attendees. This thread would light up like a Christmas tree.  :)

Is it murder during a war, or in self-defense? How much of Torah is dedicated to figuring out what stealing really is, depending on the circumstances? Context is everything.

I was responding based on his analogy of randomly robbing 100 banks and when he asked if murder is better I took the assumption of a guy pulling a gun and randomly shooting people. Both of which are always illegal and immoral in my book.

In addition, and this may be hard to understand for non chassidim, this event is one of their only outlets of entertainment. (Even without Covid) most chasidim don't attend sporting events or movies. So these weddings something they really look forward to and are willing to make an exception for their rebbe.

I'm not justifying anything, only trying my best to explain. And having seen this argument play out elsewhere I know there will still be some or even many who begrudge these large scale weddings and I understand that.

Ok great. So Cuomo can have a 10k wedding and nobody here would care if he let everyone else do the same.

I know the NY Post exaggerated the numbers to 7k, but can we negotiate it to 2k please? No rebbele is pulling off 7k weddings every other week, including both satmars. And for the life of mine I couldn't get whats so entertaining about a rebbish wedding. Most chassidim I know just know it by skimming through the papers.

That's almost as meaningful as the fines doled out to the big banks. Just cost of doing business. Next.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Did you just compare what they did to what big banks did?  :P

No. I just re-exposed the fining authorities (and monetary fines) for what they are.
