Compared to general population.!!

Firstly this manner of extinction is a cardinal sin in Orthodox Judaism.

Next how can you compare an insulated Chasidic group to the "general population"

Compare it to Braslav,Or Sameach ,Bostoner Chasidim

I personally know 3 additional people for this list and I hardly know any Chabad people. I suspect there are many more.

You should write about Kol Hashofar and how Chabad was about to crumble.

Chabad is beyond healing ,caring or introspection.

It will come eventually when aEli Wiessl type figure arrives.

Presently collateral damage means nothing

Note death is the peak but mental illness depression,etc etc are also results of the sickness that reigned for close to 50 years.

The truth is that these numbers and the ODs are low compared to the general population. If they want or can to talk about it is a different story.

That's why I am saying they are numb. The truth, again, this numbness is the general problem. But it looks grotesque with the Chassidim.

No one cares. I think I speak to people who are simply numb. Goes for everything I write. I am off tune in life and real life.
