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

@sechel- You said “And the Rebbe watching you? Well people have no qualms saying that about their parents in Olam Haemes. If I believe my Rebbe has Ruach Hakodesh, he’s probably watching me to. And if he’s passed away, he can see me from Olam Haemes.”

First off, I do, and haven’t heard of being watched by my dead grandparents. If you can source this, it wouldn’t bother me, though, and do you know why? Because w/e mekor you’ll bring that neshamos can sit on the sidelines after death and watch their children means nothing practically. But the sicha quoted above must mean that the rebbe will be doing something for you up there, or why the heck else would you do things to help remind you he’s watching?? Why not think about Moshe Rabbeinu, or Yaakov Avinu, or the Taanoim and Amoraim, if all you’re looking for is inspiration. So he sees, hears, answers your requests…uh huh. Well played.

@DY- Please see the sicha I brought a link for, a couple pages ago, where the heintiger literally refers to the friediker as a kol yachol. Heck, since the mods let it through last time, I’ll just post it again.
Here: (starts at the bottom of page 162, continues onto 163; I don’t even believe there can be a rational explanation for this one.)
