Chabad and Messianic Judaism

These are some articles that I found to be very enlightening, specifically when seen from the angle of the similarities between Chabbad and Mesianic Judaism. What is most intersting to me is that the Lubavitchers have very convincing arguments about Messiah, and those proofs very often coincide with our own arguments about Yeshua. By placing these articles here I am not condoning Chabbad or their practices. They are quite overt in their attempts to keep people from believing in Messiah Yeshua, and I find that to be reason enough to give them a very wide berth. However, maybe we can see in these articles a slight glimmer of hope for us. If Chabbad is accepted as normative in Jewish circles, maybe we can be, too.
