I randomly stumbled upon this fascinating debate about Chabad (a Hasidic movement within Orthodox Judaism), and I encourage you to watch it to the end. It starts out very hostile and defensive, but it evolves beautifully. I was genuinely surprised a couple of times along the way. It was definitely a journey. I’m not very familiar with Chabad beyond knowing some people from this movement in Israel on a surface level. i never thought they were different than other Haredim, i had friends in school that beloned to Chabad.. maybe the nature of the communities are not the same in the US and here, or maybe i just didn't notice. idk. My main focus was on the approach itself and the dialog, hope you’ll take the time to watch, because I would love to hear your opinions: https://youtu.be/7r0oFAPM_C0?si=W5CXAOXIwnizRaur https://youtu.be/7r0oFAPM_C0?si=W5CXAOXIwnizRaur

@Tziporah L. well, in my childhood i did hear people say they are basically kofrim because of the people who believe the rebbe is actually the mashiach. but people also didn't bring it up, not to create division i guess.. and also "it's just a 'meshichist' minority among them" but that sentiment definitely exists in haredi spaces. they know chabad have big nono ideas.. but i didnt know about the internal\structural community issues claims and all that.
