Better eat gefilte fish

On the subject of Bobov and Chabad. What are the basic human needs? What do we seek socially? We all want to belong to a group. To be part of a community where people know you and care for you. We want to be surrounded by a warm chasidisher crowd. We want to go to Catskills for a break. We want to be with people who will help you out if you need parnosa and find a shidduch for your kids. Occasionally if you are in a spiritual mood you also want to hear an inspiring Torah. But given the fact that 99.9% of the Torah in our Shules is made of indigestible clich�s one would rather sit by the tish, sing and eat gefilte fish with the hevra.
