Being “not Moshiach” is still something!

✊🇺🇸

It’s refreshing to hear people argue about “Yechi”, it’s been a while since I’ve heard it. Sometimes I think people have stopped arguing about it because they don’t care anymore- so part of me is happy. If the arguments could be done with a little more respect to other opinions/ other people with differing opinions I would be even happier. Ahavas Yisroel can definitely help bring Moshiach quicker, we can then argue it out in the beis hamikdosh 😉

The article doesn’t speak about if we need to vote for those that are friendly to israel and support a Torah view,
He spoke about the extent of our involvement in politics. Have we gone overboard with the that?
Various times when there were major events concerning Israel and Jews, as the Gulf war and other, the Rebbe mentioned this point.
Yasher koiach!

Trump said that the covid Vax was optional. Most of the damage came from leftist politicians and leftists in the CDC.

That said, I just would like to point out that if we are honest, we can’t simply ignore a small bunch of sichos regarding kabbolas hamalchus. The reason some of us are occupied with the identity of the Rebbe as Moshiach is because we find it in the rebbe’s words and we’re not prepared to shove it under the rug in order to be politically correct.

1. “I very much identify with the point of the article, I’m just turned off by the divisive details unrelated to the topic.”
You said you identify with the main point of the article, but you’re turned off by the divisive details. However, the main topic wasn’t about Trump being Moshiach; it specifically focused on The Rebbe being Moshiach.

2. “Every frum Yid awaits Moshiach and we need to work on strengthening our anticipation.”
You mentioned that every frum Yid awaits Moshiach and should strengthen their anticipation, but the main avoda isn’t simply about ‘anticipating’ Moshiach—it’s about greeting him in actuality.

3. “But preoccupation with the identity of Moshiach is, per the proclamation of the central committee of Lubavitch rabbonim, contrary to the Rebbe’s wishes.”
You referenced a proclamation by a central committee of Lubavitch rabbonim, but I’m not sure who this committee is or who appointed them. What I do know is that hundreds of rabbonim signed a psak din with approval from the Rebbe.

4. “Why ruin a good point with machlokes and causing tzaar to other Yidden to whom the Rebbe’s kovod is precious.”
You mentioned the idea of causing machlokes or tzaar, but the point of Melech HaMoshiach isn’t to cause anyone suffering. Additionally, I’m not sure how it could be disrespectful to refer to Moshiach as “Moshiach.”

5. “It’s surprising that anash.org put it up.”
You said it’s surprising that Anash.org published it, but it was an Op-Ed by Gershon Avtzon. News sites often host differing views on their platform—the fact that your comment was also published is proof of that.

Do you have memory deficiencies? Or do you just not remember who the president was five years ago?

Unless you think Trump mishandled Covid, in which case we agree

It’s important to vote, and to know whom to vote for, but that’s not our mission in life. Not at all!!!
