A question posed by LostMessiah in this post asks:
“Can we judge Chabad-Lubavitch by the incessant rantings of [Australian Chabad rabbi] Josef Feldman 
and are we asking Feldman the right questions?”
Judge Chabad by Yosef Feldman alone? No, not exactly.
Yosef Feldman is a composite and caricature of many Chabad shluchim (Chabad emissaries / missionaries / rabbis). His most outstanding character difference is his openness, which you call rantings. But I see it somewhat differently. I find it exceptionally refreshing compared to my experience that shluchim are too often misleading, covert, unprincipled, secretive, and simply dishonest on matters such as “tzedakah,” use of tax dollars, beliefsabouttheirRebbe, or sex abuse within the Chabad movement. Articles, news stories, discussions, and video all over the Internet will back this up. I don’t have to rely on my experience alone.
We can’t hold…

Yosef, you are incoherent. I really havent a clue what you are banging on about. So Im not going to try decipher much. You and those with you in positions of responsibility totally fucked up in relation to abuse. You didnt report it, hushed it up and connived in victim blaming. Or are you really so deluded and batshitmental to think that you handled it properly? That you’ve given the rebbe nachas and caused a kiddush hashem?

The only one who seems to be constantly banging is yourself (to yourself…) which explains why there’s a lack of blood supply to your already deficient mind which in turn causes you not to have a clue about anything which needs more than a second of thought…
Anything I knew about was immediately reported, I never hushed up or connived in victim blaming.
Either keep on banging and write just BS or notify here that you’ve stopped banging for a while so everyone here would know that you possibly may write something coherent and that may be even minutely close to fact…

So you claim to be different to the rest of those in charge at the moisad? Were you shut down by Groner and or Telsner as you desperately tried to contact the police?
Talking of banging, you tried cheating on your wife again recently and justifying your lecherous approach through twisting judaism? A man who will cheat on his wife is not a man I am likely to believe on anything else where his own interests are concerned. If you are happy to lie and cheat to the mother of your children why should we think you are not doing it on this subject? You have no credibility.
You are an immoral disgrace.

thanks Jay for reminding of that story
great opportunity to re-post abracadabra’s comment then (all her FM comments were spot on but this one really resonates…)
“Abracadabra said…
This is a great example of what is wrong with boys learning Gemara day and night for years on end. This moron is mumbling about how he is going to make it kosher for him to be having a relationship with her. If he doesn’t give her a watch, it’s not kosher. But if he gives her a watch, it makes their relationship kosher. The Gemara says so. And Halachah is so very important. That is all he is concerned about. Mentchlichkeit, decency, morals, ethics – no. Just finding loopholes in Halachah with his “Gemarakup” is what is important. So he’s finding the loophole to make it halachically okay for him to have a relationship with her, despite abusing his position of authority as a rabbi, and despite having a wife and 10 kids.
Don’t worry about my wife, he says, she has her own problems and she would be perfectly okay with me having a relationship with you. But don’t ask her! Just trust me. Uh huh.
This guy is a real moron. Forget about the fact that he can’t string together a coherent sentence without mumbling, hemming and hawing like he was learning a blatt gemara. It’s just painfully pathetic.
That this man has any position inside a Jewish community other than that of a janitor is an absolute embarrassment to said Jewish community.”

You’re a piece of work, Jay.
But here’s one part of that reply worth posting:
—“Your rantings are much the same as the fuckwit Ozzie twerp you engage with (i use the term loosely). Heads or tails? Same coin.”
To whom do you refer to as a “fuckwit Ozzie twerp?” Ozzie meaning Australian? Are you perhaps referring to any members of the Waks family who have championed efforts to expose child sexual abuse in Chabad, and thereby provided a service to the world that can never be repaid?
If that’s the case, then it’s you who is the misfit; a moral wreck. And it’s you who needs the therapy.

@ CD. Feldman is the twerp I was referring to. I have nothing but respect for the Waks family. My issue with your posts is that you are purely critical. There is much to dislike and critique in Chabad but neither it nor its adherents are without some good aspects. You just come across as an angry man flailing about. It weakens any criticisms you make rather than strengthens them as people just write you off as a hater.
ps. Not everyone who disagrees or criticises is a troll.

“Feldman is the twerp I was referring to.”
Well thank you for clearing that up.
“My issue with your posts is that you are purely critical. There is much to dislike and critique in Chabad but neither it nor its adherents are without some good aspects.”
Well I’m not writing to praise them. I’ve said before that their basic premise was once a good one but they’re not that organization anymore. People can find better options for their Judaism 101. Expecting Chabad to cleanse their corrupt ranks is like expecting Feldman to acknowledge he’s no longer a shliach. They don’t give up that to which they feel entitled. Don’t read that as angry flailing, that’s just a fact.
Your “damaged…get therapy…get over it” nonsense makes you look every bit like a troll, and you do sound just like something out of the Manis Friedman playbook. Go up the thread and reread your stupid attack here. Just because someone says they were hurt, and cites reasons for feeling that, doesn’t make them “damaged.” That’s the way you chose to read it. We take our lumps in this life. I just choose not to use Chabad’s preferred method of remaining silent about it.
I hope to publish a post soon about a couple who found their young daughter pictured on a Chabad web site with her panties crotch in full graphic view. The image was taken while the child was in a Chabad preschool in the presence of the rabbi. The family discovered it years after it was published and the father wrote that he and his wife were “hurt” by that. Would you tell those parents “you’re damaged… get over it… get therapy… shut up?” Absurd.
And Manis Friedman’s video comments were not a mere 2 or 3 minute excerpt taken out of context. They were almost 15 minutes of insight into the way he thinks with real attempts to hide it from public view afterward.

I was overly strident in my initial post and apologise for that.
How we react to issues in life is a pretty good indication of the impact they’ve had. To be the guy on a hate mission sends a certain message as to your emotional state. My basic point is that your theatrical approach di inishes your message rather than enhances it. Crude photoshop links look rather like a bitter guy lashing out than a justified critique.
As to the video. Perhaps it does, I certainly cringed listening to the stupid crap he was glibly spouting. But, what else was said and to whom? I well recall listening to my dear friend Christopher Hitchens describing Johnnie Walker Black Label as “the breakfast of champions” – you can, ofc, see how easily that is to take out of context and write the man off as a drunk with nothing of value to say.

Thank you. I accept your apology
“To be the guy on a hate mission sends a certain message as to your emotional state.”
I don’t think I’m on a hate mission. That is, its intended purpose is not for the sake of hating. That in and of itself would be a very stupid goal to reach for and no accomplishment whatsoever.
“My basic point is that your theatrical approach di inishes your message rather than enhances it.”
And that’s a valid point worth considering. After years of some deep ignorance and some willful blindness, I find myself very motivated to speak out now on what I probably should have over the last decade. I won’t get into the details of why, but I did buy into the Chabad approach of ‘don’t make loshen hara, let HaShem take care of it, don’t start a machlochet,’ and so on. Perhaps I’m playing a little catch-up, and it would serve me (and others) better to tone it down some.
But you’ll have to forgive me, I’ll hang on to the graphics for now. I just enjoy them so much. They’re worth a 1,000 words, you know. (Except in Chabad where everything is in multiples of 18. So I guess these are worth 1,800 words.)
With that said, I think I’ll pass on the current offerings of Yosef Feldman popping up in this thread. I’ve made more than enough points on the guy recently for the WWW to consider. And I deserve a break from it as well.
