Ask a Lubavitcher Anything

[Dan]

Is this a pro-meshichist documentary, or anti? I cant tell from the trailer. Can you post it if/when it's released?

Lol really?

[Yehuda57]

Chabad isn't a party, group, sect, culture, or anything of the sort. It is a Chassidus - an ideology, a derech of Torah. The natural outcome of Chabad Chassidus is shlichus, mivtzoim, untucked shirts, etc. Agudah, for instance, is a political organization representing a certain group of Jews, not a belief system.

So you're saying Koplonko is a Mashichist?

Even an anti would say Yom Hilula or the like.

The natural outcome of a derech of Torah is...untucked shirts....
It sounded good until the untucked shirts...lol

So it's a Machlokes Dan and ExGingi what Koplonko holds.

I didn't say that. Just saying yahrtzeit isn't in the vernacular.

Sure, it's in Shulchan Aruch Harav.
Next you also want to wear a tie?

Not what @Yehuda57 was referring to, but I'll run with this anyway.

Untucked shirts with solid black ties, and suspenders under the TK (all under a custom tailored silk kapote) is the ultimate spitz Chabad fashion statement.

What is

Only now do I realize how far OTD I have fallen.

To me, an outsider, it sounds like the people that are featured are saying pretty crazy stuff; and I'm not sure if it's highlighting them ironically, or seriously.

Yup. R' Yoel Kahan was famous for saying pretty crazy stuff.

I didn't mean him - I meant the random people on the street

Meshichistim aren't too worried about looking crazy

[Moshe123]

Lemaase, I didn't get an answer, but I got nitpicking on not using the pure chabad dialect. Nu.

[Alexsei]

Why did I bump into this thread?

When did Cleveland become part of Monsey?

[Moshe123]

Ok, flying in for Mendel's.
