“No More Tears”? I did not know that this family was in the business of subtracting tears instead of adding them.
On the suggested in the comments “grooming” of Dalia’s sons to be the NLR.
mentalblog correspondent in Jerusalem:
“I did reach out to her son via LinkedIn, but he said it was “personal, private matter”. I do believe there needs to be a balance between the family's desire for privacy and the (relevant) public's curiosity. Just to be clear, this whole NLR nonsense sounds silly to me. I only reached out to her son to see if he's at all open to discussing his mother's family. I wasn't surprised by his response, but I had to at least try. Hopefully, someone will be able to get through to them. I hope her and her family share their history before it is too late...
Impossible for this family to be honest. If they tell lies, who needs that but if they tell the truth, they will be harassed. For God’s sake, please leave them alone. As it is, we had more trouble and cultural destruction from that family than we will ever need. But Dalia Rotman-Gurari/Schneerson named her firstborn son after the father.
Happy Thanksgiving, except for us, the gullible turkeys.
My speculation is that she does not have much positive to say about MMS, and the truths about her father (non shomer shabbos etc) will be devastating for the Lubavitch Echelon to handle. That could be why they haven't done any official interviews with her. Surely if she had glowing positive remarks about MMS they would have offered her a nice sum of money to do an interview. Imagine how they can spin that "Lubavitcher Rebbe living niece talks about her esteemed uncle"
Chabad today is more of a business enterprise than a Chasidic court or religious organization.
Talk of expansion,new ideas,fund raising income,new franchises etc
Any talk about the literature of movement,understanding,personal religious growth,and guidance by a living rebbe
Indeed there is talk by new age Chabad gurus who read new age books and regurgitate for their ignorant masses and Baale Teshuvath.
For the tweens they offer Messianism as a safety valve,I suspect Aguch has no problem with Messianism as long as they don't intefer with the millionaires. On the contrary Messianism is good to keep the youth satisfied.
