Separate But Equal

About a month ago, I wrote a post about the state of women's education in chabad.

So it seems  that the state of men's education in chabad is not much better.  From this post in this thread:

Most guys cannot learn Gemara at all. Most guys don't know any hebrew grammar. Most guys can't learn any chassidus beyond sichos and maamarim of the Rebbe; and

Let take as an example science major program in any college in non-English speaking country (like for example the country where I did my major in science, Israel). Since all literature and textbooks are in English, the program starting with improvement of English language skills to the certain level. This way of education is logical, it makes sense, and it proved itself. Let see now Yeshiva-Torah education. Very simple to start it with Hebrew learning, but no, gevald, to learn Hebrew per se considered to be too much modern, haskallah-like. The results are that the even best American “Bohrim” need English translation (Shokenshtein etc) to learn Gemarah. So they don’t actually differ from Baal Abosim coming for evening Daf Hayomi. But these Baal Habosim are experts in something alse at least, when gurnisht bohrim pretend to be experts in Torah, lying to themselves and to other people. Btw, most of the Litvashers in the US, at least partially to solve this problem, send Bohrim for couple of years to Israeli Yeshivot, where they learn Hebrew by the way. But not Lubavichers, they have opposite attitude, to send Isrealis for a year in New-York (so-called kvutza, not clear why need it today).

Why?

Why? Of course to visit their rebbe.
