Are Chabad or Lubavitch Shuls bad?

[Deer Man 420]

I ran across this website, I wonder if it was even written by a jew...

It basically says that Chabad is a organized crime organization and a cult. And never put your kids in a yeshiva that goes by Chabad or Lubavitch.

I ran across this website looking for the PC game mafia that I love. The box art is very similar

This is Jew-hating nonsense. Chabad are some of the best Jews around.

What a bunch of BS...

I love Chabad, stand by them, know three Chabad Rabbis personally....

These Jews do the most of just about any organisation to help the Jewish people do mitzvot and keep Jewish.

I went to Rosh Hashana last week with Chabad, and I am going to Yom Kippur with Chabad tomorrow evening.

There are a lot of people who are jealous of Chabad and I believe that leads a lot of people to hate them. And then there is the issue with perceived Messichism (believing the Rebbe to be moshiach). Out here (in CA) I have not met any Chabad Rabbi who teaches or believes that Rebbe was moshiach. All I have heard is that we are close to the time of Moshiach, and  the sparks of Moshiach already exist in the world.

This person is definitely not a religious Jew, perhaps not Jewish, perhaps a hiloni. I saw some of the things he/she put up before it included women dancing half naked and he/she promoted it as well.

Have heard of them, wonder if they have anything to do with Cole Chabad an orphanage I was considering donating to..

I've been attending the Chabad on and off for a little while and there is so much I respect.  However, I am having some reservations and have had a not so great experience with a new Rabbi I recently met.  I actually just posted a thread on the subject before I even saw this thread.  I have read through the Chabad Mafia website and believe there is a lot of fallacies, but perhaps some unfortunate truths about a few issues.  I don't know..  OP, you can read my experience in my thread.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe passed away 20 years ago, and a new generation of Chabad Hassidim are emerging who were never exposed to his tzidkus & chassidus: hence they are declining in to the studied mediocre middos of most other Haredim.



There are now actually Lubavitchers really in to fashion, something unthinkable when the Rebbe was alive!
