SHY: “In the interest of intellectual honesty…”
Thank you for that! I remember clearly – and I think I may have posted it earlier – lubavichers saying before gimmel Tammuz that the rebbe must be mashiach because he is the greatest living tzaddik. “Look around and tell me who is greater,” was the standard argument.
I don’t think it took them 24 hours to say that Mashiach can come from the dead.
