Did you even learn Basi legani!? Why don’t you learn some Chasidus and befriend some Chassidishe Lubavitchers before being motzi shem-rah on kesherim shleimim un Yereim! This is a quote from Basi Legani, the Rebbe says the Frierdiker Rebbe is should be Moshiach and that’s AFTER his histalkus. The Rebbe never saw himself as Rebbe, he always refered to the Frierdiker Rebbe as the Nosi Hador (after his histalkus).
“All the above is accomplished through the passing (histalkus) of tzaddikim, that is even harsher than the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash. Since we have already experienced all these things, everything now depends only on us — the seventh generation. May we be privileged to see and meet with65 the Rebbe here in this world, in a physical body, in this earthy domain — and he will redeem us.
65. See end of Sefer Chassidim (quoted in Gilyon HaShas, Kesubbos 103a); Bamidbar Rabbah 19:13.”
Once the Rebbe was asked how he could say the Frierdiker Rebbe is Nosi after his histalkusand said that there’s stira of two pesukim – about shimshon in shoftim :
in the first posuk it says that shimshon had judged Klal Yisroel for 20 years, but another posuk says that he judged them for 40 years. Chazal answer the stira saying that since the Pelishtim feared the Yidden for 29 years after shimshon was nistalek, he was considered the Nossi for those next 20 years. Meaning that in some cases the Nossi continues after his histalkus if his Hashpoho is still felt in the world. (The nossi Hador is moshiach shebador).
Also the Zohar haKadosh (See Zohar I, 140a; Chiddushei Ritva on Rosh HaShanah 16b; Responsa of Radvaz, Vol. III, sections 1069, 644; Migdal David, p. 83a; Biurei HaZohar of the Tzemach Tzedek, p. 134. See also Sichos Kodesh 5710 (Kehot), p. 100, and Likkutei Sichos, Vol. II, p. 518.) says that certain Tzaddikim will have Techias Hamesim before the main Techias Hamesim hakloli, the Rebbe explains that if Moshiach is Min Hamesim then he would have Techia amongst those special Tzaddikim. (This explains how Moshiach can be min Hamesim if Techia is after Moshiach reveals himself). Moshiach Min Hameisim mekoros:
Sanhedrin 98b. Abarbanel, Yeshuos Meshicho p. 104. He cites a passage from Tractate Derech Eretz Zuta: “Nine people entered the Garden of Eden alive …Mashiach.” He explains that according to this view, a righteous individual deemed to be the Mashiach will live, then die on account of the sins of his generation, but will eventually be resurrected.
Sdei Chemed, Pe’as HaSadeh, Maareches Alef, footnote 70.
R. Chizkiyah Medini states that if Israel is exceedingly meritorious, Mashiach will be resurrected from the dead in a miraculous manner.
See also Or HaChaim, Parshas Balak, on the verse (Bamidbar 24:17), “A star shall shoot forth from Yaakov”: “If Israel are found worthy, Mashiach will be revealed from heaven.” See also: Zohar I, 203b; Arba Meios Shekel Kessef (by R. Chaim Vital), p. 68; Shaar HaGilgulim, ch. 13; Meorei Tzion, ch. 97; Biurei Zohar by the Alter Rebbe, p. 106b; Biurei Zohar by the Tzemach Tzedek and Yahel Or of the Tzemach Tzedek on Tehillim 82; Or HaChamah on Zohar I, 7b, and I, 212a. Note the closing phrase (“and he will redeem us”) of the first maamar of the Rebbe (entitled Basi LeGani 5711 [1951]), translated by Sichos In English in Basi LeGani: Chassidic Discourses (Kehot, N.Y., 1990), p. 103.
