Very simple question: Just about every sect of Yiddishkeit, whether chassidishe or litvish (the term “misnaged” isnt used anymore today, as many litvishe gedolim have close relationships with, and respect for, many Chassidishe rabbonim) has a leader that they adore and revere. And that is a tremendous thing. But they all believe that there are other people who are gedolim as well and whose words and opinions they respect as being Daas Torah. Chabad also has (had?) a leader they respect and adore. Great. Who is number 2? Is there any other gadol from any other sect that is respected in Chabad circles?
