    Sound No. 17 - Sholem Aleichem: Zalman vs. Mendel Schneerson - Lubavitch, the Vehicle of Modernity

    Sholem Aleichem and I find ourselves, this early Friday afternoon, in New England towns in a neighboring states. It’s a beautiful, sunny, brisk, spring day. I can hear the birds chirping over the podcast. Our towns are the graveyards of the American Jewish life. With plenty of Chabad “emissaries” who came to officiate at the funerals and make a few bucks off the dead. The vultures circling on the horizon, the scavengers looking for leftovers of the once proud, mighty communities. We discuss topics no one is interested in. We start with the complicated and tragic relationship between the cousins, Rabbi Schneur Zalman Schneerson and Menachem Mendel Schneerson. In the second part of the podcast, we veer into the current state of Lubavitch, again a subject no one is interested in. There are either people who are caught in the pulsating dreaming of the unrequited love, or people who leave it all behind and never look back. These groups have no in between. So, we are once more on a virtual deserted island. As if the island we are actually surviving on is not deserted enough. You can rest assured, the life relentlessly goes on! Chabad, a Trojan Horse of modernity? The background: * Zalman Schneerson - The rescue of Bertha, Malka and Bella Teitelbaum. * Zalman Schneerson - Chapter 1 - Paris at War. * A Letter from Zalman Mendelivich Schneerson to Meir Yankelevich Dizengoff. * Post No. 1 - Boris Markovich Schneerson - Family of the Repker Rov - Introduction. * Sound No. 10 - Bad Blood of the Chabad Rebbe. Update: The Postscript on Zalman Schneerson and Barry Gourary. This is a public episode.

    Подкаст № 15 - Прерванный Cон РАШАБA

    Карл Маркс: “Гегель где-то отмечает, что все великие всемирно-исторические события и личности появляются, так сказать, дважды. Он забыл прибавить: первый раз в виде трагедии, второй раз в виде фарса.” Чтобы получать новые сообщения, подумайте о том, чтобы стать бесплатным или платным подписчиком.

  7. Sound No. 13 - How Chabad, Satmar, etc. Hack the System

    Sound No. 13 - How Chabad, Satmar, etc. Hack the System

    This is a quick take as a way of introduction for a broader podcast with Sholem Aleichem. We hope to record this longer podcast tomorrow. But this will set up some themes for the conversation. Jewish Encyclopedia - Apostle (regarding Sound No. 12 – מיהו יהודי and the Jerusalem Council). Investigative reporting is absent from the Hareidy press. But still strong in the NYT. Specifically, the author of the articles about Satmar NYT: Brian M. Rosenthal. Brian won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for his investigations of the NY Taxi industry. Nothing of this caliber exist in the Jewish or Hareidy press. They are afraid to look in the mirror. While their communities are rotten and corrupt, they pretend to take a high moral ground in relationship to others. This is a public episode.
