Sam Klein, I totally agree with you. I can’t wrap my brain around going to a Rebbe or Rebbe’s kever they should intercede on my behalf. Itseems like a foreign concept to me. We are taught from early on that Hashem involves Himself with everyone and Hashem listens to every person no matter how sinful they are… A brocha from a tzaddik i believe in, but asking from others when one can ask straight from Hashem? I guess it is a Yiddisha concept though and has mekoros because big tzaddikim and gitte Yidden believe/d in this age-old shitta.
