YYA > So go open up a �Qwerty House� in Thailand or India, and start helping lost Jews with their Olam Hazeh and Olam Habo.
you are right – there are 2 issues here:
1) people who actually do something v. those who criticize them online.
2) olam hazeh v. olam habo. Some people somehow care about their own olam hazeh while professing their concern for the olam habo of others. The proper behavior is starting with opposite. (I can’t recall the source of this idea, please post if you know).
Speaking of ambiguous reaction, I am sure I am not the only one like that. I was recently at a levaya of a very elderly chabadnik who spent his whole life organizing something for children and adults, sometimes getting stuck on the road in his very old car; sometimes not knowing how to pay mortgages for the school building … a lot of people of his generation and a little younger came, including those from different chassiduses and those who often make disparaging anti-chabad comments… I checked with a couple of such rabbis whom I respect who did not come and they praised him also. I did not ask several who did not come, of whom I am not so endeared, so I don’t know whether this attitude is unioversal, or just wide-spread.
