Funny zug from Rav Ruderman about the yarmulke/tzitzis shmuz.Incidentally, I recall hearing that Rav Ruderman was from a Lubavitcher mishpacha. Is that accurate?
although we do eat other RH foods.
Can’t find it now but pretty sure the Satmar Rav did not have round, rather two vav shaped challos to signify the luchos. At least for shabbos shuva.
The alter Rebbe's brother related that his brother said we shouldn't be makpid when it comes to food related minhagim (apparently there are more important stuff than food).
AP dead or Obi dead?
You have to divorce the first half of the paragraph from the second.
Luchos were square AFAIK.
Are you referring to the idea that lubavitchers are not machmir on mitzvos that relate to bodily enjoyment?
But they are listed in the shulchan aruch.
not sure which luach
Ffty.Also, not sure which luach and if what it says there is more biblical than shulchan aruch, but hayom Yom only mentioned head of ram in addition to apple.
Don't worry. We've got our own Shulchan Aruch too In the Shulchan Aruch Harav he mentions quite a few different types of foods to eat on Rosh Hashanah.
The Talmud mentions a bunch.
The alter Rebbe might have seen a copy of the talmud
Of course. He is literally quoting it. If you’re taking from the luach to shulchan Aruch you might as well bring it all the way back.
As opposed to common belief, there are basic universal Jewish concepts. OP asked if chabad deviates in this specific one, to which I answered something general regarding food, and then specific what is mentioned in chabad sources
The full video has some additional gems.
Rav Avigdor Miller on Likud Versus LaborQ:What’s the Rav’s opinion of the Likud party versus the Labor party in Israel?A:I must tell you my sincere opinion – I’m not interested in either of them. There’s only one party for us and that’s the party of those that are sh’lomei emunei Yisroel. That’s our party. The frum Jews, that’s our party. The truth is that someday there will be a history written; there will be a Tanach written. The gemara says that: אליהו כותב והקב״ה חותם – Eliyahu HaNavi is going to write it and Hakodosh Boruch Hu will sign (Kiddushin 70a). There’s going to be a great Tanach written and in that Tanach you’ll look in the back or in the front for references; you’ll want to see who is mentioned in this book. Likud? No; no mention of Likud! Nothing! You won’t find Teddy Kollek there either. You won’t find Ben Gurion. No, nothing will be mentioned of them. Nothing at all.The history of Am Yisroel is being written by the frum Jews. They are the ones who make history – the frum men and frum women. The ones who are raising families, they’re writing history. A mother brings up a family of sons and daughters, sh’lomei emunei Yisroel, she has made history and she’ll be in that history book. Yes, women will be in that history book. Tzadikim and tzidkaniyos, frum men and women – not only gedolei Yisroel. ויד כל אדם בו – Everybody’s hand will write in that history book something. Every person will someday be in the history book and it will be a very well written history. Eliyahu HaNavi knows how to write. And all the tzadikim will be there, but nobody else! Likud, Labor, all of them will be left out.Now, some people think it’s not a real Jewish history unless it mentions also the names of this Reformer, of that Zionist, of this other fellow. No! These are just accidents of history, tragedies, and they’ll be left out. Now, Hakodosh Boruch Hu will ‘take care’ of them, don’t worry about that! He won’t leave them out from getting what they deserve. Oh yes, he’ll ’take care’ of them! He has something in store for them! But they won’t be in the history book of the Am Yisroel. In that great Tanach, only the sh’lomei emunei Yisrael will be inscribed.TAPE # E-55 (April 1996)
2 thoughts.1. Tanach absolutely 100% talks about all Jews, not just the "frum" so I don't see how that makes any sense. Literally the worst of the worst, much wore than reform today, are in Tanach.2. It's amazing to see the stark difference of how The Rebbe talked about reform Jews and how Rav Avigdor Miller talked about them. I forgot what a good mussar schmooze sounds like, and I remember how thankful I am to be raised with another view point on non-frum (yet) Jews.
