How could intermarriage be a positive development?
Fake: how do you know Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky isn't Jewish?
Sara: I'm asking on a macro level here.
Did you have yo spell the word with the v before the n? It's Ponovesz. (Don't worry if that ain't the real spelling either, but I've seen the original sign in Lithuanian.)
fake:
1-With a name like "מרגוליות" what do you think her religion is?
2-Don't you mean 'chaslereh'?
anon:
punivitch
Sara: The magic of Google, eh?
Anon: Who said Lubawitzers knew how to spell?

And why is the opinion of a pediatrician in Connecticut noteworthy?
subscribing
Did you see his name?
See I have seen.
And what thinketh thou?
What a bizarre choice for a name.
Lubavitch, by definition, must have a different answer than ponovezh. Just like the old saying "If the Alter Rebbe doesn't adderess your situation, find it in chayei adom and do the opposite."
Whose name is bizarre?
Really? Lubavitch never agrees with anyone else?
Ponevitch believes is not flipping light switches on Saturday, for example.
"If the Alter Rebbe doesn't adderess your situation, find it in chayei adom and do the opposite."
And then Lubavitchers wonder why everyone hates them...
Most Lubavitchers I know don't wonder- they know that everyone hates them because everyone is jealous.
That's like being named after korach.
Nothing is without a source! That sefer was written specifically to counter the rise of chasidism. Obviously we will specfically oppose it. Nothing personal against my litvish brothers.
According to a reliable source, he actually wrote some amazing Sefarim.
Personally, I've heard that line in several different forms, so I wouldn't put too much stock in any specific one. More pertinently, aren't you the guy who is trying to make peace between the bochurim?
I don't think people hate Lubavs out of jealousy...
who mentioned jealousy?
"Most Lubavitchers I know don't wonder- they know that everyone hates them because everyone is jealous"-TRS
Sara: Apparently you aren't most Lubavs. Moving right along, why do you think people hate Lubavs?
e: me.
1. the gall and self-righteousness.
2. Flax attitude with halacha
3. Many think we worship the Rebbe, practice avoda zora, etc.
4. Mivsoyim and noisy mitzvah mobiles.
There's a few more but that's what I recall at the moment. I should note that this is what people have told me...
I shouldn't have to forget about the uniquely special qualities of Lubavitch for the sake of sholom.
Sara: Excuses, excuses. I mean, people have hated Lubavitch since the beginning of time.
Menashe: "Uniquely special"?
Yes.
Wow.
Beginning of time?
There's a reason 19 kislev is called rosh hashana! It's on that day that the world found purpose.. : )
Sara: Correct.
Menashe: Hayom Haras Olam.
RE: jealousy
Ok. I sometimes have brain farts like that. sorry folks.
Menashe: Don't forget them, just keep them to yourself. The Alter Rebbe said (I think), "A lie one cannot say. But not every truth must be screamed from the rooftops."
Yes, but between friends like us..
As we say about Yechi...
This is a story on Matzav.com: Rabbi Krinsky to NY Times: Wrong to Believe Rebbe Was Moshiach
Of course that's not what he said at all but it's convenient for people to think he did.
Who said anything about a point? I thought this was the blog of TRS.
Only TRS can have no point.

This is an article of interest regarding that interfaith marriage.
He is somewhat pro-intermarriage, but makes some interesting points on the positions of reform and conservative Judaism vis-a-vis Orthodox judaism that one wouyld not expect to hear coming from an obviously non-Orthodox, yet religious, individual
So what is the point of being Jewish if you're reform?
