A shrine of intolerance in Boston

A Shliach brings to his job his unique temperament and talents. Some are better with people that others. Some are surprisingly harsh. They talk to people in a tone that the Rebbe would never allow towards a Jew. Some managed to hurt many people in this community. Penetrating, dismissive, intolerant rants are raining down like manna. But that is only part of the problem.

One would think that a Shliach is in business of making BTs. So when a prominent member of our community turns his life around a Shliach is genuinely happy. But no, the approvals are reserved for people who passed a party test. But if BT is say returned to his Chagas roots he certainly deserves bitter snickering, ridicule and disdain uniquely assigned to the ideological independence.
