וואו איז די אחריות!?

There’s been paintings of the Rebbeim standing together in front of 770 and the like, which never happened, and in some pictures, the way chassidim and the Rebbe stand, in one line as if that’s acceptable…
We needed to have spoken out then. But never too late. Hopefully this article will be taken to heart

Rabbi Pape is very sensitive to these matters. Halevai he had a say….I remember when they hired a marketing firm (albeit Lubavitchers) to start running the “new and improved” tzivos Hashem. Hashem y’rachem.

do a google search (or a Kosher search…)

Tzivos Hashem proper (like Moshiach Times) is very responsible in this matter. The problems you mention are from Hachayol, which functions independently and is mostly managed by young bochurim and girls.

Tzivos Hashem is very insensitive in this area, like having videos of the Rebbe flying across the screen at the beginning of their rally videos, comics with pictures of the Rabbeim (derher for kids, to their credit, is very careful never to show the Rebbe’s face) etc.

והלואי שיפעלו הדברים בי ובהשומעים

The difference is that a painting is painting a real picture — people didn’t invent a completely new expression from scratch.
It’s a respect to paint a real image you find inspiring.
It’s a disrespect to ask a robot to generate its own version of the Rebbe — because you want that expression.

Negel Vasser by your bed is a din in the very first siman of the entire Shulchan Aruch, and it carries the severity of “chayav misa”. Go learn.

So who exactly do you want fighting in the army? Goyim? Don’t we want all yidden to act jewish?

Sounds good. HOW will you cultivate that feeling

What does a graphic cards company have to do with anything?

We need to cultivate in our youth a sensitivity, a natural and genuine feeling, to the Rebbe as a tzaddik and real person. They should feel that the Rebbe is THEIR Rebbe, not just an idea.

This would solve a lot of other problems too.

Please provide backup for this claim. I have a brother who is a chasidishe bochur who was נכנס בשלום ויצא בשלום from the IDF. He is the same chasidishe bochur. The different between him and those who stray in the army is largely because he didn’t go להכעיס. For many of those who stray the idf is not the issue. There are options for frum soldiers that are כדבעי.
