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!
