“then you are misunderstanding at least one side of the argument.”

The subject line says this topic is about betten a Rebbe. Perhaps I misjudged in not just copy and pasting the entire page, I assumed the context was understood. Mosdos Belz say explicitly that you can give a certain amount of money and write a kvittel with a request and that someone will read your kvittel at the tziyon of R’ Aharon of Belz. The reason being as delineated in what I did copy and paste: Giving tzedaka to support the cause supported by R’ Aharon is a way of connecting to him. Since connecting to the tzaddik is a way of connecting to Hashem, and R’ Aharon will support you and connect your request to Hashem.

In what world do you think that is not connected to the subject of making requests of Rebbe’s and here is a specific instance of making requests from a “dead” Rebbe.

I have not been able to follow each point and tit for tat in this conversation. I don’t know what killing yetzer haras has to do directly with the conversation. I thought what was being discussed is whether or not one can make requests from tzaddikim, and whether or not this is appropriate by the graves of tzaddikim as well.
