Ask a Lubavitcher Anything

[EliJelly]

Hint for Lubavitchers:
When it's raining hard, extend the hood of your sheina coat over the food as you're eating so it doesn't get too waterlogged.

No rain is being forecasted, please think of others and don't pray for it.

Anytime. However keep in mind that tonight (and IINM on Wednesday night too) my daughter is having a girls farbrengen there, so make sure not to show up too early.

Unless you rely on the friediker Rebbe and Rebbe, then there are no Shaylos and you just make a leishev

Interesting. Do you have a source?

Thank you
Seems like it's still better to be having a meal / mezonos after.

So you think this was mentioned for no reason?

It was טאקע written as a באווארעניש, but it's very clear that as the years went on לישב was always made
Anyways, this is an old argument, ודעביד כמר עביד

TL;DR

In a way this might be similar to not crossing the dateline during Sefira. The Rebbe made his opinion clear that IF the dateline is crossed, Sefira is for the individual and שבועות should be celebrated (בצנעה) based on personal count. It is obviously preferred (by the Rebbe) to totally AVOID crossing the dateline during Sefira.

So too in the case of לישב בסוכה for הבדלה. It is definitely preferred to have a קביעות that is מחייבת בברכת לישב בסוכה לכל הדעות, but in case that isn't possible (or in a different Sukkah?) one should make a לישב בסוכה when making הבדלה on wine even with no other קביעות.

It's also wrong according to multiple Chabad Rabonim that I've asked.
The issue is going one-way during sefira. If you fly RT then you are caught back up.

Are you insinuating that the Rebbe never gave such directive, or that it is misquoted/misunderstood?

And what if there will be a problem flying back?

Does anyone have an actual הוראה from the Rebbe to this effect?

OTOH there were a few who had a הוראה פרטית not to cross the dateline year round.

@dirah.

I'm aware of the year-round הוראה פרטית.

If you think you'll have a problem, that's obviously different.

Have recent years taught us anything? How reliable is scheduled travel in today's day and age?

I would guess that a Chosid would want to be extra careful about the Rebbe's directives (Sukkos appropriate) הואיל דנפיק מפומיה דרב כהנא.

Do we just consume anything that's כשר ע"פ דינא דשו"ע, or are most here מהדר beyond that?
