Chossid: “If you believe that tzadikim have Ruach hakodesh, and saw stuff which other people didn’t, how do you explain this rambam?
שְׁנַּיִם שֶׁהֵעִידוּ וְאָמְרוּ בְּמִזְרַח הַבִּירָה הָרַג זֶה אֶת הַנֶּפֶשׁ בְּשָׁעָה פְּלוֹנִית וּבָאוּ שְׁנַיִם וְאָמְרוּ לָהֶן בְּמַעֲרַב הַבִּירָה הַזֹּאת הֱיִיתֶם עִמָּנוּ בָּעֵת הַזֹּאת. אִם יָכוֹל הָעוֹמֵד בְּמַעֲרָב לִרְאוֹת מַה שֶּׁבַּמִּזְרָח אֵינָן זוֹמְמִין. וְאִם אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לִרְאוֹת הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ זוֹמְמִין וְאֵין אוֹמְרִין שֶׁמָּא מְאוֹר עֵינֵיהֶם שֶׁל רִאשׁוֹנִים רַב וְרוֹאִין מֵרָחוֹק יֶתֶר מִכָּל אָדָם.:
Even if they can “see” or know what’s going on במזרח while they are standing במערב (which according to norm you can’t see it) they still will be considered עדים זוממים, because we go according to norm”
Sorry but that’s irrelevant. The Rambam is talking about physically seeing something. I don’t yet have ruach hakodesh but I don’t think it means physically seeing something.
And as far as the norm goes, the Rambam writes that we don’t say “perhaps” his eyesight is better than anyone else’s. But if he could prove that he can say the Sanhedrin won’t kill him. Here, on the other hand, the Rambam says point blank that we give him malkus immediately for saying that he won’t sleep for 3 days.
I want to point out how far you are brainwashed in your beliefs.
The original point was that the heter for not sleeping in the sukkah because of tzaar that you can sleep is ridiculous. NOT that your rebbe was wrong for not sleeping in the sukkah, as if that is truly an old minhag it’s good enough for me and, I assume, anyone else who follows talmidei Habaal Shem.
When you replied to that you mentioned BY THE WAY that you heard from mazkirim that the rebbe didn’t sleep for the entire 7 days of Sukkos.
I replied that that is impossible and that the Rambam proves as much.
Then you answer that by “showing” how the rebbe was above nature. I argued that it’s irrelevant. You argue back by trying to prove it from a different Rambam, etc.
Do you see what you are doing? The MAZKIRIM said something and you just have to believe it because if you don’t, and you accept that the halachah of the Rambam applies to your rebbe as well – even though NO ONE is claiming that there is anything wrong with it applying to your rebbe – you feel you are doubting your rebbe.
So now the statements of the mazkirim – each of whom is denigrated by either the meshichisten or anti-meshichisten – are also Kodesh Kodoshim!
