Eliezer Schach, one of Israel's leading Orthodox rabbis, has publicly called Schneerson "insane", an "infidel", and "a false Messiah". The local papers carried Schach's outrageous charge that Schneerson's followers are "eaters of trayf", food such as pork that is forbidden to Jews.
Rabbi Shach objected to Chabad outreach campaigns such as Neshek (Shabbat candles), Tefilin, Rambam study, children's parades on Lag B'Omer, and the Noahide Laws.
Shach's death in 2001 left a void. The dispute over whether Rabbi Elyashiv or Rabbi Steineman would become Shach's recognized successor was also played out in Yated Neeman. The editors became divided, with the daily edition, edited by Grossman, identifying with Rabbi Elyashiv and the Sabbath edition identifying with Rabbi Steineman.
