The Acronym ChaBaD which they like to rewrite as "Chabad" but are in error as it is an acronym and its really not a word was a good thought; but I must say that ChaBaD is disorderly presented in its construction.
ChaBaD stands for the following three thoughts:
Chochma (wisdom)
Binah (Understanding) and
Da'as (Knowledge).
To say that Understanding comes before knowledge is to say that our nation is not build on ideals but that our lives are blessed with trust before we found truth. I must say that it is only through truth that we can find trust and thus with this thought process, this Lubavich movement would have much orthodoxly been constructed to be ChaDaB or maybe if we like it enough we can call it Chadab.
This word looks orthodox, sounds orthodox and I must say if it was rewritten this way, the entire movement would be the truth that the universe seeks.
So rather than hating the Lubavich movement which I do not, I wish to write them a letter which maybe here in I do and tell them that their decision to coin a name for their goals and aspirations was in fact wrong.
I bet that if this ever becomes the Chadab movement which lets say I will be the first person ever to join myself, this movement will be to the fruition of western civilization and the entire universe.
Lets rename this prospect and see where it goes. Perhaps we will truly bring ALL peoples to Torah who are Jewish and bring about a messianic era in the future. Thanks.

How would you like it if our Creator told us to call the Torah a 'Tohar'? It would be like we were arabs. It would not be the same at all.
I feel the same way about the Acronym ChaBaD. It sounds like I must look down at the ground.
The name ChaDaB makes me look to the heavens. Is that what we want? A problem in our lives?
This is clearly indeed a true issue.
I think that if we really want to be a group of Real orthodox Jews, we need true priorities. Putting Knowledge before Understanding says that we Understand that the Universe is a really very smartly organized place. Its real. It exists to organize humanity. And a disordered name by an Acronym no matter how funny it may make people think that it is to be Jewish is, is not really Godly in any sense.
So I personally think that Hashem is not a fan of the Acronym of the ChaBaD and that perhaps someone must decide that its time to revamp the outreach movements main attraction. Their eyes in the poets section of the Torah.
Thanks.
