It is sad that the culture in which Chabad prospered has been forgotten.

Ditto as to the language Yiddish to a extent not known amongst other Chasidic groups.

The history too has been a victim except for a few studies.

Yes you are correct as to contemporary Chabad issues Chiefly are PR, fund raising,conversion art efforts among other Torah observant Jews and take overs of semi defunct syns.

It gives Uforatzto new meaning.

The Leningrad siege was another tragic chapter of the Holocaust.

As I've noted several times the Leader rarely spoke or wrote about this event.

Although a excellent events planner,he miscalculated here as by 1978 Holocaust became a primary (Sinai event in words of Schacter) event of Jewrys identity.But unlike meditation feminism and other issues the leader didn't budge Chabad had no relationship to Holocaust ,Groups like Satmar,Get Bobov,Zandz Pinsk-Karlin are different.
