Ten Shoemakers make a Minyan

Nine rabbonim do not

ie rabonnim are flesh and blood like all of us with good and bad neshomas

If you are serious, you are yet to remove senior chabad people that still occupy positions of authority and even have the hootspa to be publishing anti child abuse statements when they are responsible themselves for abuse of children, not necessarily sexual. I will believe you when you have ACTED. Talk has all that the community has done for years while the abominations continue. All must be removed from leadership and public positions of any description.

They were overseas, therefore he couldn’t comment?
Such rubbish!!
There is internet world-wide.
He knew what was going on, just couldn’t be bothered commenting until now.

Is he playing the political move to pretend he is not a Chabad Rabbi ?

What a shame!

we respect you for who you are.
