Hi, everyone,
Posting a link here to a fascinating article from Israeli news on the Chabad Lubavitchers, a contemporary Hasidic sect with 200,000+ adherents. The article mentions a Lubavitcher from Portland, and there are Chabad centers both across the river and in Vancouver where I live.
Remarkable to see how devout Jews have turned their Messiah into something like God....

I think this idea may have started with 11 or 12 Jews sometime after 30 A.D. They had followed a Rabbi who planted this idea in their heads. I think they were pretty convinced of it.kaufmannphillips wrote:Remarkable to see how devout Jews have turned their Messiah into something like God....
