Re Clint Eastwood
. In fact there is much about a certain Chasidic group in just the names of the movies : A fistfull of dollars, (Who can we EXCLUDE here)
For a few dollars more ( the same), The good , bad and the ugly (take your pick) and Hang em high (Billboards). If we only had a silent strong man like Clint to lead us out of galus.
Instead we have the Rojos and the Baxters fighting each other .
Frankly I'd settle for Lee van Cliff.
LOL, Schneur. Who is Lee van Cliff?
I'm blown away (and impressed) that your candidate was into Eastwood movies. Did he enjoy any other "modern" diversions which you can safely divulge?
The Rebbe liked Ellery Queen

The reason I ask is because he has such a serious and at times otherwordly (dream-like) appearance, especially when he davens, learns or farhbrengs. We only have a few purists here, the real deal let's say, and he always struck me as the most real. He has never sold out, never compromised. That he likes or liked Clint Eastwood movies only makes him more real to me. I guess it's true: never judge a book by its cover.
Binyomin, i don't see how the book and the cover is in contradiction because of Eastwood, and I know that is not what you mean.
You wouldn't imagine the Rebbe liking Ellery Queen novels, or R. Ahron Kotler (I think it was him that is mentioned in The Making of a Godol) feeling the same about Agatha Chrisite books ... why? ... because it doesn't fit our image of them. They are put them on unrealistic, one dimensional, pedastels. Hence, my don't judge the book by the cover comment. You're right, it's not a contradiction, but rather an unexpected insight into their very human personnas. The more human they are, the more real they are as well.
Hope you me in mind too,
just thought to share a piece of a sicho in LS Vol. 19 page 264-5 where the Rebbe speaks of the "keissas beris" discussed in our parsha folowng the bris mentioned in earlier parasha tavo, where that briss relates to the relation of yidden and Hashem through Torah, sunce Torah connects yidden with Hashem, but then after that we have a Hiskashrus with Hashem that is higher than the Hiskashrus through Torah...(the latter Hiskashrus the purpose the gathering of Rosh Hashana,
Then the Rebbe says: "...דאס איז אבער ניט גענוג: דער ברית, דער עצמיותדיקער פארבונד דארף קומען בגילוי....אוף דעם קומט דער צוויטער פירוש, אז "התחיל משה לפייסם", משה, דער ממוצע המחבר פועלט אז "קיימין לפניו" ובאופן פון "נצבים"...
Moshe, Memutza Hamchaber accomplishes that hiskashrus atzmis of a yid and Hashem should be BEGILUY...
Before 3 Tammuz ROsh Hashana was a time that one experinced this injection begiluy: from the time The Rebbe received panim and looked everyone and said "leshono toav umssukoh", through every single part until the end of RH where the the Rebbe electified the air, from the outbursts of "Min Hametzar" through all the pssukim..., the crying before the tkioys, the panim hadkerschiefs, BEshimcho Yegiloon", looking at the whole olom after tkios, and the farbrengen at closing, when the REbbe motioned during "veromamtonu mikol halshonoss" and on and on... one felt the "memutza hamchaber" on his flesh...
and today?....
