To the group
I just read an incredible article. It’s in the English Forward June 2022. A Chabad Rabbinical student, Yossi Newfield, was studying for his semicha in Melbourne and his high school Gemara Rebbi at Oholei Torah came to give a lecture. Surprisingly, the entire class was devoted to explaining why the Rebbe couldn’t be Moshiach, since this would violate Rambam’s dicta on the subject(as I’ve been saying since I joined this thread.) Rabbi Newfield said that his classmates ignored what they heard, but he knew it was the truth and abandoned Chabad(but remained frum). Apparently, there is hope that at least some of these Lubavichers can be saved, but Rabbi Newfield admitted it wasn’t easy making the break.
