In fact they are not monolithic in their approach nor do they generally brag that there path is the only way. They also do not try to re-write history to the exclusion of other groups and tzaddikim that I know. <BR/><BR/>They also respect talmidei chachamim and poskim who are not Breslovers. They are also not insular in so far as they learn in other Yeshivot. They do not hold that they have all of the chochma that they need in their own frameworks and institutions. They are also waiting for the same moshiach as the rest of klal Yisrael. In Israel many of their leaders are respected in both the Chassidic and Lithuanian circles and they also participate in joint issues with other rabbonim.<BR/><BR/>Trying to tie Breslov in the cult of the week posting is a futile exorcise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-73415978765429425312008-07-25T15:38:00.000+03:002008-07-25T15:38:00.000+03:00Can't say I'm terribly surprised.

It is one of the sad rules of politics that the more confident and certain a leader is of his own perfection and excellence, the more people will follow him blindly. Look at Obama right now, or the Lubavitcher before him.<BR/>People don't get inspired by humility, unless the Shechinah happens to be glowing behind them (eg. Moshe). They want someone who's sure of the righteousness of their cause and it looks like the Bratzlovers certainly got that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
