 The Jager File: CHABAD THEOLOGY & DAVID BERGER
In Israel, the rabbi of Kfar Chabad signed a rabbinic ruling that Jewish law requires belief in the Rebbe's Messiahship, and the major columnist of the journal Beis Moshiach is a mentor in Yeshiva Tomchei Temimim there.
Among the reasons for this acquiescence are: The 'good things' done by the movement, the desire for unity, the dependence on Chabad, the conviction that this is a transient insanity, a blinkered concern with one's own subgroup, and the instinct that people who look and behave like hassidim must be Orthodox Jews.
Recognizing Chabad messianists as Orthodox rabbis in good standing abolishes Judaism's criteria for identifying the Messiah and awards victory to Christianity on a key issue in the historic Jewish-Christian debate.

 Don't blame Chabad
When his father, the prime minister, came to visit close family friends in Kfar Chabad sometime ago a few of the local residents engaged in a spontaneous, peaceful demonstration outside the house.
For instance, Chabad rabbis agreed to participate in the "take 15 minutes and think about it" protest – in which drivers pulled to the side of the road – only after they were assured that there would be no disruption of traffic or illegal activity.
If someone asserts that he is Chabad and advocates illegal demonstrations, disrespect for the security forces, violence of any kind, injury to any person, be he Jew or Arab, he is in essence excluding himself from being a hassid.

 Summer of the Messiah
Chabad's unparalleled outreach program aimed at non-observant Jews has won it the respect and financial support of many outside Orthodoxy, who see the movement as an antidote to assimilation.
Critics denounce Chabad as a fundamentalist movement that opposesreligious pluralism and manipulates Israeli politics supporting the ultra-Orthodox Agudat Yisrael party in the 1988 Knesset elections and lobbying for a change in the "Who Is a Jew" law.
When Chabad campaigned for Agudat Yisrael in the 1988 national elections, its emissaries were banned from army bases,on the grounds that the religious movement was no longer apolitical; yet today, that ban has been almost entirely forgotten.

 Chabad Lubavitch in Cyberspace
One of the basic tenets of Chabad is that Ahavat Hashem [love of G-d], namely unity with G-d, who is not only the Creator of mankind, but also the Creator of the universe, is synonymous with Ahavat Yisrael [love of a fellow Jew].
Indeed, the founder of Chabad himself showed an example of it: When a poor woman gave birth at the far end of town, Rabbi Shneur Zalman, we are told, took off his Talit and Tefillin, and went to her dingy hut to light the fire, and prepare some food for her.
Moreover, as explained in Chabad in which, I am glad to see, you are interested, this sacred work will give you new insights into Ahavat Ha-shem and all that goes with it, and will help clear up many of the problems, enigmas, and conflicts which disturb your peace of mind at present.
