@DaasYochid,
“Pardon my ignorance, but wasn’t it stated in the other thread that according to Chabad thought, there is only one צדיק הדור?
If so, why was there even a competition?”
Huh? There are many Tzadikim in every generation, and here we have to Tzadikim on opposing sides.
@Gaon,
I’m not bringing this as proof for anything, if you are following what’s going on, I was responding to CS bringing this story. And it’s not a “mere story” it was told by the Rebbeim.
