I frequently see people (Jews and non-Jews) cite Chabad to make the absurd claim that Judaism "doesn't have hell". Their website has many articles whitewashing the idea, saying that the punishment of Gehinnom is "the shame you feel when you realize your mistakes" or whatever, even though rabbinic literature actually describes it as horrific fiery torture. Likewise, they say that everyone gets out, even though rabbinic literature has eternal conscious torment for many groups of people.
If you were brought up in Chabad, is this whitewashing actually what you were taught? Did anyone ever question its incongruence with the actual texts?
