Sechel,
“As a Lubavitcher male, I have never heard these diyukim in Rambam from any respected figure in a Yeshiva”
FYI – it has indeed been circulating in all Chabad for YEARS . Don’t blame Shlucha – she is repeating what she actually heard, and so have I heard the very same “diyukim” — many times.
Is Rav SD Wolpo respected enough?!
Yes, he published an entire book on this Mosheach subject..(I received it once from a Sholiach in Israel)
