farbycoffe: “Rabbi paltiel is not saying that a rebbe is god”
You are playing the typical Chabad shell game here.
Paltiel clearly said that the rebbe is “Ein Sof”.
I know of no beings or creations that are “Ein Sof” in authentic Judaism other than Hashem.
“the world is created out of havaye”
No, the world was created from NOTHING.
Almost every commentary on the first verse of Genesis describes the Universe as created “yesh miayin” (from nothing), so you are admitting that Chabad has a different, incompatible theology than what the Torah sages have been teaching us for at least a thousand years.
