It would be easy to dismiss your previous post with the usual condemnations, which are too well known to rehearse here. But as a Chassid, I study kaballistic teachings, which teaches me that even outright lies have to have an element of truth to keep them going. Otherwise, they would have no currency and would soon be forgotten. So, while I have known Chassidim of many different stripes, and know that they are not all saintly and very few even approach that level, and in fact there are even some unsavory characters among them, whom I’ve known personally, you are painting with too broad a brush. But the fact that you are doing so with such conviction tells me what I already know from other threads on this subject, that upstate residents do have some legitimate beefs, that they do rightly perceive themselves as being invaded and put upon, and that that isn’t how it should be, and certainly not how it has to be.
The question I must ask myself as a Chabad Chassid is what can I do to help. I’ll have to do some research to find people of authority Chassidic community, and get into communication with them. I’ll get back to you. If you have some names and phone numbers that might be useful, please communicate them to me privately.
I can’t promise anything just yet, and my time is limited by geography and my personal life, and the fact that I’m no politician or lawyer. But I’ll be getting started FWIW.
