Chabad is good at many things. But accepting criticism is not one of them. Every column I publish praising Chabad is met with thousands of comments expressing mostly adulation. But offer a word of criticism and thousands of condemnatory posts ensue. No doubt this column will be greeted with the same. But when the New York Times publishes a major news item, the day before the second secular anniversary of the tragic murders in Mumbai, exposing a public and legal battle between Chabad and the Holtzberg family over Nariman house and the monies collected on behalf of Chabad of Mumbai, a wakeup is in order.
