I don't know what other Chabad rabbis' shiurim are like, but I go to this certain Chabad sometimes (rarely) and the rabbi talks and talks and talks (during his formal and informal shiurim) but I don't get anything out of them.
He speaks in a peculiar style to make his points, and it doesn't speak to me. I only ask because I don't think he or his style is unique to this one Chabad rabbi. I'd like to know more about it. I've come to call it 'homiletical', 'homey', 'midrashic'. Someday when I get the courage, I will ask him what this style is and why he speaks so... 'oLdly' / peculiarly during his talks and how I can enter into this speech-world in order to get something meaningful out of it instead of going away feeling -- at best -- like I've been to an Eastern European museum of the pre-Holocaust world.
I have listened to other Chabad rabbis in the past (many years ago) and I seem to recall the same style and the same 'not-getting-it' (i.e. understanding). Only now, I want to get something out of it, instead of the old 'here it goes again'. Thanks.
