As a shliach, I can attest that what is written here is 100% correct. Seeing cringeworthy behavior in Anash communities in areas where we got a heter as an exception is disturbing. Yet we also need to love our fellow Jew, and perhaps at the same time the Rabbis is the small shuls in CH can gather koach to remind people what is and not acceptable.

In reply to CH resident. According to the Rov, separate tables.

We need more direction in these things. Lubavitch caters to people at all levels, so it’s hard to know what the real Lubavitch is.

There has to be more guidance, especially in yeshivos and schools on what our standards are (tznius, interaction with secular culture, etc.).

Thank you Anash.org for printing this. Keep up the good work!

This writer makes two very good points:

1. Many practices on shlichus are not meant for anash.

2. Many practices in Chabad Houses are an exception and should not be adopted carte blanche in all Chabad House settings.

Many young people don’t realize that the Rebbe had set standards about what was appropriate on shlichus, and Rabbi Chadokov would enforce them strictly. Who is enforcing those standards today?

I agree with this. Not everything done on shlichus was meant for chassidim. Kids need to be shown what chassidishe community life looks like.

Don’t you need a mechitza to bench and say שהשמחה במעונו?
