(My guess is that it was an oversight).
I highly doubt that, but ask and let us know.
They have posted corrections on their site before, they can still do so.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I didn't see anywhere in my forum profile that I am the liaison to Colel Chabad.

But while we are at it, what was R' Chaikin's response?

They still have time, the Rebbe spoke about it on the fifth night of sukkos

FWIW, I was told that Rabbi Chaikin said not to. I'll ask him for more details.
Curious how universal this is or isn't.

I asked R’ Fitche Offen who said he took the sicha as guidance, even though this was the first hakhel that the rebbe held them together.

Wow. What a surprise. The Rebbe actually changed things in later years... Did that also happen in נא-נב, or are those subject to some other kind of interpretation?

Doesn't fit the narrative

I'm surprised people actually asked a rov and mashpia about holding an esrog.

The Rebbe did it and spoke about it, I don't even see what the question is.

(Think it was the same people that asked the rebbe about benedictine?)

Haven't been able to get through to him, but his grandson told me that he told him talui b'hergesh ;D

If you haven't phantom kissed your tefilin during shema on chol hamoed, are you even really Jewish?

;D

Would be funny if it wasn't actually sad.

Let me requote the sicha:



In other words, if this is something one needs to ask about, then they obviously don't have a hergesh that it's the right thing. Or in other words:
כל כהן שאין בידו חצוצרה אומרים דומה שאין כהן הוא 🎺

Feh!
Back in the day the shochet was fired because he did that!

The Rebbe clearly spoke about it and said it was מסירות נפש for him to change from the Frierdiker Rebbe's minhag, but Hakhel overrides.
Were you in 770 the days after this sicha? Were people using lulav and esrog during hallel for the rest the chag?
Any pictures or video?

No true scotsman debates are always fun.

There's a debate going on?

All I'm doing is quoting sichos of the Rebbe and a Tosefta.
