Can any Chabdsker please explain this line tom e?
“er, der rebbe un der aibershter zeinen ein zach”
Which translates as “the Rebbe and Hashem are one thing”, from the atzmus teshuva?
I mean it sounds like straight-up heresy to me. It fit into saying “The Rebbe will help” but not into Yiddishkeit.
And if you believe in it, why not just request from the Rebbe directly instead of asking him to ask Hashem?
And if not, then you hold your own Rebbe is an apikoires just like us. So why be Chabad?
