Chabad believe that the rest of klal Yisroel are missing out on what they call the "penimius hatorah". If they really think that everyone else is seriously lacking in Torah and yiddishkeit, the next logical conclusion is, that a chabadsker that is a real ohev Yisroel should attempt to be mekarev kerovim.
This theory is backed up by years of circumstantial evidence.
They clearly have a mission of " uforatzto " etc to spread their version of chassidus... They talk about it all the time. Even here on Ddf! Those people who offer to learn "chassidus" with you are just doing uforatzto.

If this what chabad teaches and you believe in it, why deny it... Embrace it!
I personally respect the sentiment. But I also respect satmars right to say no thanks.

We are all saying that chabad encourages people to learn chassidus.  No one is denying it.

But that has nothing to do with converting people.  Bec u can learn chassidus and still be a misnagid,  satmar.....

I just find it interesting that they're told to stay away from parades and other things.  But when they're traveling and need chabad.... All of the sudden hakol beseder
When they have a relative out in the boondocks,  chabad is once again in the good books

When I was little in school I use to feel like that when teachers would put down non religious people in certain ways but then it was a whole big event when they came touring the building and were donating money. 


IMO, There is nothing necessarily wrong with keeping separate in some instances if that's how you feel. The problem is the looking down on others unless it's convenient for you.

Im not answering for satmar,  but in this instance,  what you're saying   doesn't make much sense.

The Kol Koreh was meant for the kids FWIU.  They don't want thier kids getting influences from chabad.  (and maybe thry suspect luring,  as others here have posted. )

That problem doesn't really exist with a normal  stable adult who already found his path over the last 20+ years of his life (hopefully).  (obviously we all have nisyonos,  but this isn't exactly a nisayaon)

I don't have a good comparison,  but I'll try. 

Would you want your  kids playing with the goyim on the block? Leaning all the curse words,  etc?

When they get older,  they  go to work,  and many times thier surrounded by goyim.  We hope by that age their hashkafas are already well built and very strong.  And because there's no alternative,  they go wrong with goyim.

I'm not comparing chabad to goyim. I'm comparing a different scenario for you to realize that  adult life and childlife aaren't the same -  influentialey.

What churnbabychurd said is correct. Though the letter should be saying that exactly. And not what it says....

And to Dan, which other sect had a Mandel Vechter story? You make it sound as a simple flat lie...

Satmar learned a lesson once, and that was enough. Again I agree the letter was written by a hypocrite, but the point is as churnbabychurn said.

And had this been organized by any other chassidus that dresses differently then them and has other hashkufois then them they would have banned it as well, in this scenario it's lubavitch.

I'm not a historian.
All I know today is that the Chabad that I spent 8 years in yeshivas and centers around the world couldn't care less about making someone frum "become chabad" and doesn't feel that any other jew, frum or not, is worth any less than if they were chabad.
Nor is there a feeling that anyone frum is lacking something.

Though yes, we do believe the BS"T was told by mashiach that we'll be zoche to mashiach when the BS"Ts wellsprings are spread and that it's not a crime to offer to learn chassidus with someone.  But we're not to take some random kid off the street and start learning tanya with them, that's ludicrous.

Apparently Lag B'Omer is a hard (discriminatory?) time for Yidden everywhere, not just Chabad.
Don't mean to C"V compare the reasonings here, it's just interesting seeing what different communities bring to the table as "issues".
Intense preparations are underway for this year’s Minyan Shelanu Lag Ba’omer barbecue and raffle event. The event this year will once again be held in the parking lot of the Blue Claws stadium, lakewood, NJ on the 18th of May.

.....
.....
.....

Tznius at the event will also be a priority, says Minyan Shelanu.

“In an effort to keep this year’s Lag Ba’omer Barbecue/Raffle event a fun and spiritual event for all, Minyan Shelanu kindly requests that teenage girls not attend the event unless accompanied by a parent.”

Is there ever going to be a solution? 
Sigh.

Enough of this.

Have a wonderful Shabbos Ya''ll and enjoy Lag Baomer...  One of my favorite days of the year. ^-^

I'm completely neutral here.

But Chabad isn't trying to influence other sects by making their minhag with big pomp for other kids of different chassidusen in BP where there are a negligible amount of Chabad Chasidim?

FTR: If my kids will be bored I might take them. I have done so a few times in the past.

Again, Trying to get someone to learn Chassidus ≠ trying to make someone Chabad.

Obviously some non-chabadniks don't get that impression.
(and obviously all chabadninks will agree with that no matter what)

Also depends on which type of Chassidus learning.
Is it Noam Elimelech, Ohev Yisrael and Maor VeShamesh? Or is it Tanya.
Obviously, mainly one version of it.
