The opposition that arose in the Jewish community in Eastern Europe began with the establishment of the Chassidic movement in Volhynia by the [[The Baal Shem Tov|Baal Shem Tov]] in 1740, continued with his student the [[Maggid of Mezeritch]], and intensified during the time of the Alter Rebbe - founder of Chabad Chassidism. The opposition created large-scale division within the Jewish community, including persecution and excommunication, even leading to government informing. After three generations of conflict, the dispute subsided for a long time. In the 1980s, the dispute was rekindled by the then-head of the Ponovezh Yeshiva, though it has been diminishing again since his passing.

A conversation to which Rabbi Yoel dedicated about 23 minutes, which was rare for him.
