Reb Yoel: There is only ONE Derech in Chabad
In an unprecedented scathing attack in this week’s issue of Kfar Chabad magazine against the “shita” (the line of reasoning) of writing on the Rebbe “Shlitah,” Rabbi Yoel Kahn, the Rebbe’s chozer, said that this is going against the Torah and defames the Rebbe’s name. Reb Yoel stresses that he is not dealing with the “people” that have created this “shitah” but is condemning the “shitah” itself.
Reb Yoel: “When the Rebbe assumed leadership Yud Shvat 1951,” he stated clearly that the task of our generation is to complete the process of drawing down the Shechina in this world. This is done, the Rebbe said, through the dissemination of Torah, especially “Pnimiyus Hatorah.”
“To us chassidim, the real dissemination of Pnimiyus Hatorah is as expounded by the Rabbeim. The Rebbe asks in one of his sichos why did G-d have to tell Abaraham that ”I will make your name great?” Abraham was known to have been imbued with the greatest degree of humility how can one even think that he desired greatness?
