Rabbi Schneerson of the Lubavich movement to me is the guiding "light" that wants to make sure that every non jew in the future becomes a "Noachide" rather than say christians, baptist or islamic person. For a good time, I thought this was a good thing. Those other ways of life were not Torah and they were not based on reason of God that I felt. So I thought... be a "noachide"... be a good man or woman of God and be happy. Noachidism did not require that anyone go to a church or mosque. You did not need to pray in a minyan so you can pray anywhere. There are no major noachide communities and no major noachide books on the market of which I have knowledge. It is a lonely way of life, although I support its existence. That said, I do not think that noachidism is going to take hold the way that say christianity or islam spread like wildfire. Noone wants to be under the auspices of the religious Jews as is noachides inception and it is really not a community with community centers. Not yet at least. Maybe one place. Maybe I just dont know 'noachidism'. But I am no longer going to be the Jew to tell other non jews that they would be better off this way. That was what the Rabbi Schneerson did. He said that others would really not be as ungodly as they were in his eyes if they were just noachides. This in fact is against Torah values as it brings embarrassment to the non jew if he does like a religion which is organized and affords his life and his family the benefits of community and solace in the Lord as they see fit. So lets be frank here, I am not a big fan of this Rabbi Schneerson. I know I wrote a blog in Sir Henry's Chimney I believe (or maybe it was earlier on here) that I said he was a great man. He was. But his teachings are like sugar without the spice. He was a big shot all the way, but guess what folks, non Lubavitch guys don't believe he is messiah and dont even really get into his life much. I am proud to be Jewish in an age where I do not have to follow the ways of the mainstream seeming Lubavich movement who is aimed at world dominance by setting a rabbi emmisary and wife in every town on the globe. Period. This is paganism to me as we dont need to bring the rabbi to the community first, we need to bring the business man or the Jew to lead the way. Then you get the rabbi. To send rabbis all over the world so that you can get Jews in the corner of the globe is like asking for God to give the Jews the entire worldy wealth no matter where it could be found. Let Jewish leadership and business dealings describe where our people settle. Not the desire for a rabbi to spruce up the island say that no jew has every been before but maybe its a nice place to go on vacation. So make no mistake here. I am not nor every will support the idea of the Lubavich movement. They may be an army of torah leaning turtle doves of the speech, but they are not turtle doves of the heart. I do not believe their movement will last the test of time. I think that we are blessed with true orthodox movements and perhaps someday, your faithful ba'al Tschuvah, myself will have a family of religious Jews to call friends. That is not my day today I am sorry to say, but I hope that I have God's support and that I will continue my life in a good way as a True Orthodox Jewish Leader of the days ahead. Many thanks.
