Chope for Chabad?

Jerusalem Post - Editor's Notes

Is Chabad outgrowing the belief that the dead Rebbe is the Messiah? This article claims that it is. I would like to believe this as I have many Chabad friends whom I greatly admire - and their Mashiach thing frankly bothers me.

An interesting comment by a Chabadnick quoted in the article is:
Unlike the modern Orthodox, "who seek to integrate with Western culture," and the haredim, "who seek to insulate themselves from it," Chabad "wants to engage."
I like that.
