Reply To: @Chabad Shluchah Please Explain Why Davening To/Betten a Rebbe is Okay

When Lubavichers started saying “The Rebbe Shli”ta”, it put main-stream Yiddishkeit on edge. How could somebody on the “Oilom hoemes” be referred to as living and be written letters to, and prayed to?
It looks like CH”V early X-tianity, where they said that X will again return etc…. I am afraid we need a Rabbi Shimon Hakipuli to make order.
