I think it’s Rabbi Steinzaltz’s way of connecting with people. Because he was a world class Torah scholar people could feel he’s unapproachable so if he said something comedically absurd, it’s the ice breaker to year down walls between him and a simple person. You can disagree with it being becoming of him, but obviously the intent was the furthest thing from abuse.

@@youtub6521 is there anything that he could say that you would think, ok that's too far. In my mind, this was too far. I couldn't live in this kind of environment. And I believe the way people do live in it is by interpreting and excusing, which to me is exhausting. I understand he is joking, but the joke, especially the part asking how, is like digging in that he can say whatever he likes and no one is going to call him out on it. That's my understanding.

Thinking again, I don't know why someone would say something like that, but I think it's worth challenging, it's a very extreme thing to say for anyone.

I hear they sell sense of humors in nordstrom. Marshall’s also has at a discount. Go visit the stores. Sheesh.

because one is meant to be aboit trusting G-d Almighty, the Erbeshter! and not in any creation, even pir alovr and deceased tzadikim and rabanim

3 seudos oneg shabbos deoraysa how can you stay you stick to Yiddishkeit Al pi shulchan Aruch and go cancel this. Also, it seems to me that being “on shlichus” is like the Chabad version of the traditional Jewish “learning in kolel” ie koleman

@@WrennWrenn Can you send a link?

@@SPNDS1980 13 Shvat 5711 - Likkutei Sichos Vol 2 p. 517 "..."People have asked me how can I say the Rebbe (referring to his father in law, the previous Chabad Rebbe who had since passed), will lead us out of exile? This is contrary to the sequential order of events! Although chronologically, the order of events is 1) the arrival of Moshiach 2) the rebuilding of Temple 3) the ingathering of the exiles and finally 4) the resurrection of the dead, nevertheless, the resurrection of CERTAIN individuals, has occurred in the past, and will also occur PRIOR to the final redemption.”

@@WrennWrenn thank you. he does not bring there it appears any Jewish source to suppprt this but rather just makes the statement, no? תנ"ך, ש"ס, חז"ל או גמרא, מדרש, הזוהר הקדוש... עפעס משהו

@@---tx9xx for Chassidim the Rebbe's assertion is enough. Here are some sources: Rashi on Daniel 12.12: "moshiach is destined to be revealed, concealed and revealed again" Rabeinu Bachaye Shmos 5.22: "moshiach will appear, dissapear and appear again" Midrash Rabbah Bamidbar 11.2 "just like moshe - the first moshiach - appeared, disappeared and then reappeared so too the final moshiach" Yeshuos Meshicho page 104 "don't be amazed that Moshiach could be one of those who rise at the time of Tchiyas HaMeisim for this has already been considered in Gemara Sanhedrin" Chayim Vital Arba Meios Shekel Kesef page 68: "moshiach will be taken to shomayim and return and be revealed for all to see" Sdei Chemed vol 7: "if we are worthy moshiach will arrive miraculously as the Gemara says - if he is from the grave he is like Daniel" there is a Sefer Kuntres Shmoi Shel Moshiach by Aharon Yaakov Lieberman - it shows how Moshiach from the grave is a legit perspective. . you can read it here for free shmoishelmoshiach dot com - it has approbations from Rav Zef Leff and Rav Yitzchak Breitowitz

so, can you imagine what they mean by each of us making a move even if it might be a mistake?

Did you even listen..??

@@m_lchaim open a tanaya or gemara

There was tons of chassidus. None that you were able to flesh out. It’s takeh a shanda.

@@yochanangordon5981 then lubavitch is finished. Open a mamaer and that is chassidus not boch seforious and sefkekus.

Chassidus doesn’t end because of pessimism and negativity. The rebbe has full sichos which discuss the parameters of individualism Vs collectivism and the roles they each play and how they intersect. That was pretty much much of the second half of the conversation. Aside from that the conversation was full of substance and honesty.
