Reply To: WaPo Article When Lubavitcher Rebbe Was Niftar

In an essay included in The Eye of the Storm, Rav Aharon Feldman agrees with RebYidd here,
and says that the belief that the Rebbe would be Moshiach above all those who were niftar in previous times
causes us to think that the believer is not in their right mind (not a direct quote). He doesn’t totally reject
the idea of Moshiach coming from the dead, though (I don’t remember the details, it’s been a while).
