Chossid, Rav Hershel Shachter’s opinion on Chabad can be heard in his wonderful lecture on segulos and superstitions which is easily available online.
All you have to do is google “daven to rebbe” and you will come up with people who say that, forget about my sources.
All you have to do is google “rebbe god”.
And no, saying der rebbe vet hefn means Rebbe as God. It’s using Rebbe as intermediary, the EXACT thing the Rambam says was early avoda zara, and what the meforshim say the mistake of the eigel was. Chabad goes back thousands of years to the maaseh eigel. The Jews knew Hashem created the world, just though they needed an intermediary.
For any chabadsker who is willing to answer:
1. What was the question that the Rebbe in 1979 wanted to answer with “atzmus umahus melubash baguf”?
2. What were the answers that the Rebbe didn’t like?
3. How did atzmus umahus melubash beguf answer the question?
4. a superficial translation is that Hashem in a human body chalila, which sounds EXACTLY like Christianity. They should sue for plagiarism, along with the idea of dying and being resurrected messiah
Yes I know a typical neshama is chelek Eloka but yet nobody ever said you can daven to a human until the Rebbe.
Oy! Der eigel vet helfn
