Lamppost on the 5th Avenue

On the subject of the Report card of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and boston = death:

The fact of the matter is that the Lubavitcher Rebbe or his movement failed to make a simple dent in the rate of assimilation. It is astounding that the Rebbe never made this a Mivtzah. This just add credence to the opinion that he ultimately did not care or should I say played out his hand in regards to the state of Jews after his passing. If he just wanted to grow his own ranks he could have done it the Satmar way of exclusion with infinitely more impressive results. His failure to stem assimilation is the monumental and fundamental flaw at the root of mihuyehudi, shleimus hoaretz and the rest of them. It is a flaw �kloli�. As far as I am concerned they can hang themselves with the tefillin straps off the every lamppost on the 5th Avenue, but the decline of the Jewish people continues unabated. When confronted with this the Shluchim here in Boston and thousands of their clones all over the world claim that �we don�t do such things�. Really, what do YOU do? If they are helpless and clueless in the face of this plague, why bother? Why wouldn�t this be on the agenda? They can stick all the shabbes candles to where they belong and they can leave the scene, stop sucking dry the blood resource of the people if you have resigned from it�s most important corrective thrust. Guilty of massacre as charged.
