Reply To: The Five Most Likeliest Candidates to be Moshiach

The Chasam Sofer did not say Shalom Aleichem, Machnisei Rachamim and most probably Malachei Rachamim as he held that we don’t pray to malachim. Kalev visited the dead. We should daven to Hashem that he should have the dead or malachim intervene in our behalf. When we say Hamalch Hagoel, we should start from Hashem.
