What is the point of this article?

In what context was that mentioned? – what was R’ Amnon’s point when mentioning it?

BS”D

Very few Yidden stay frum because of Amnon Yitzchak’s scare tactics. He is a stage performer and an actor, and many of his quickie BT’s are paid shills. Talking about shawarma spits in Gehennom is not going to get anyone who is halfway normal to embrace Yiddishkeit. (How does he know so well what goes on in Gehennom anyway?)

However, many people distorted the Rebbe’s comments in various ways for their own gain. This is just the most public example.

Bs”d
but they stay for the chasidut. I have spoken to many who were also unfortunately turned off by the fire and brimstone and went away with very harsh and negative feelings for Jewishness because of the gevurah which he shows once again.It just ain’t happenin and people don’t like it.

i don't think he has hate

This man has brought literally tens of thousands of Ydden to Torah and Mitzvos. It’s a fact which can’t be denied. I have personally met many ehliche balei teshuva who are only frum and many even chasidim today, through the influence of Rav Amnon. Of course this does not justify everything he says vechulu, but give credit where it’s due.

Hey Rabbi...Don't worry. Be Jewish

If you don’t like the Rebbe so much, why did your right hand man pick my brain for four hours in a car ride from Tsfat to Yerushaliyim? Then you copied all the Rebbe’s mivtzoim ideas and used them for your non chasidic outreach.Trouble is, you can’t save them without the chesed,truth ang light of chasidus.

When you add, you detract. By adding a few words on your own you caused this!! Chava did the same when she added a few words, and caused the chet eitz ha’da’as.
