Why Chabad Orthodox Judaism is Actually The True Divine Destiny – you see, firstly we must absolutely distinguish between "branches" of Judaism – throughout the centuries – actually millennia there have always been usually either for political (power) or acceptance (assimilation, as Jews are always a minority, as God said, "you are a minority among the nations" – a unique challenge… for when people are the majority they just follow – when you are the minority you have a choice) so these breakaways (though they have always disappeared) most importantly have reformed and either diluted or usually opposed Judiasim, by Jews -a typical example is that here in Kansas City according to Jewish standards "there is a rabbi" – again a distortion, for the notion of what it takes to be a Rabbi, like what it takes a medical doctor, has been going on for thousands of years, and if every single Rabbi for thousands of years will say that the title Rabbi cannot apply… as if every single medical doctor would say to someone who not only didn’t take the necessary requirements but actively disagrees with the rules…! – in other words instead of promoting Torah/medicine, demotes it, for some kind of distorted view – not to mention being "gay," an active violation of Judaism and the list of actively doing what goes against Judaism while proclaiming that they are officially rabbis, "synagogues" "conversions" to a religion they ideologically reject (for example, as I studied with a reform rabbi at yale – for individually of-course they are well intentioned, just they themselves have been conned – as reform began in the 1850’s (I think) so as they completely lie, for unlike say Christianity that completely has a different name, it calls itself "Judaism" "rabbi" "temple" etc. in any event, he showed me the tenets of reform which is that Judaism is invalid and every rabbi may say whatever he wants!!! which goes against the entire structure of Judaism that no rabbi may say anything he wants! – Judaism is a legal code) in any event, all of this is to say that only Orthodox Judaism, with zero compromise on Judaism is a valid eternal (hence if you "belong" to other movements, as the recent pew survey shows, as communists lost their entire movement, so will you…) secondly, Chabad follows the mystical tradition that God didn’t make a cameo performance three thousand years ago and went into hiding – he is an active pulsating force, living "breathing" force, and by listening to the Rebbe, you not only get the history of Judaism (and its authentic legal code, which all Rabbis have always ascribed to) but the destiny – and most importantly as the Rebbe says, the messianic era in which there is an individualized personal relationship with God (which can be accessed through mashpia, as well as other means) is yours (if you so choose)
