A revelation from Chabad World:
Not too long ago, Yousef and his siblings, numbering eight in total, together with their mother, were living under extremely harsh conditions in the heart of the so-called Muslim Quarter in the Old City of Yerushalayim. They were Baruch Hashem among the fortunate, extricated from the abyss by the Chabad – led Yad L’Achim organization. Now, Yosef as he is called among Am Yisrael, is wearing tefillin, marking his bar mitzvah.
This is a stunning admission. Chabad is an organisation in which many members believe that a rabbi who died is the Messiah and promote “Moshiach” conferences in the heart of the Beit Menachem community in Stamford Hill where members believe that the deceased Lubavitch Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson is God incarnate.
Read the Hebrew at the front of the podium – Yechi adoneinu moreinu v’raveinu melech ha’moshiach le’olam va’ed – “Long live our Lord, teacher and rabbi, King Messiah, forever and ever”!
And Yad L’Achim accuses Messianic Jews of idolatry because we believe Yeshua rose from the dead! At least our Messiah was born in the right place!
Watch Chabad handing out flyers and proselytising Gentiles (especially from 3:30). You can even hear a Lubavitcher hasid cry out “Moshiach Wakba!” (2:13-2:17):
Chabad is a missionary organisation, and Yad L’Achim’s chief of operations Alex Artovsky provides inspiration to Chabad missionaries.
How much more clear can Chabad be that they are missionaries?
Do Yad L’Achim also persecute Chabad missionaries? Why not, if they go after Messianic Jews?
If missionary activity, and belief that God became a man and conquered death to fulfill his mission as the Messiah, is acceptable within Jewish communities, then why can’t Yad L’Achim simply reason and debate with Messianic Jews over who is really the Messiah?
And if it is only a faction of Chabad that hold to the idea that Schneerson is God, and Yad L’Achim consider this “idolatry”, then why aren’t Yad L’Achim focusing on purging this “idolatry” from within their own Lubavitch community before they focus on those outside it?
Whilst other Israeli anti-missionaries are genuinely concerned by Chabad, will they show similar concern for their Yad L’Achim employees?
