Can someone please explain this to me?

Kinda like a progress report of good things you are doing.

[Yehuda57]

דו"ח = דין וחשבון
It is a report sent to the Rebbe after doing a shlichus. Usually one would do it personally, here people decided to do a cumulative report of everyone who did mivtzoim at the march

[Dan]

Honest question: Why wasn't the Lubavitcher Rebbe asked to join the Moetzes? Or was he asked and he refused?
I know Rav Shach was against the Rebbe, but wasn't that much later in life? Why wasn't the Rebbe asked to join in the '60s or '70s?

You are sorely mistaken if you think Chabad antagonism wasn't around in the 60s or 70s.

Regardless, some insight here:

Lubavitch was against the Agudah from it's inception, so obviously the Lubavitcher Rebbe could not have joined the Moetzes of Agudah.

Lubavitch is a-political.

Interesting. What do they do with it?

It is taken to the Ohel. Either emailed/faxed right away or saved until the next visit.

The Rebbe would read reports of all types, and remark on seemingly mundane ones. The Rebbe wanted as much detail as possible.

Which OOT cities have a functional relationship with the local shluchim and which cities have a dysfunctional relationship with the local shluchim.

Are Anash just looked at as a nuisance (or worse) in most places? Are there any lessons to be learned from places where the relationship works?

I don't think 5T is OOT but Rabbi  Wolowik is very much integrated.

With one exception. Lubavitch never officially supported any political party, nor did it ever belong to or affiliate with any political party.

I don't think so.  I think when it first started as a gathering of Rabbanim to help all yidden, the Rebbe --------But when it became a political body, he stepped away.

The Rebbe wasn’t on scene when it first started. It was the Rashab who refused to join the Agudah in 1912 (despite the fact that he was involved in the beginnings of it) because he disagreed with them, primarily that he felt they weren’t sufficiently anti Zionistic IIUC. So I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about.

Incorrect. The Rayatz was already vehemently against the agudah and wrote scathing letters to the Gerrer Rebbe and others against the  Agudah.

Ironically he criticized the Aguda for establishing a Moetzes because he felt it would further the agenda of the zionists.

And then they sent out a letter about a zionist rally.

So...he was right?!!!!

[Yehuda57]

And then they looked up and they saw that it was the 5th night of Chanukah

Wondering how many of ya'll got this reference
