A gutte voch from my locality.
Avira DeAra I’ll post the source from igros Moshe, that you think is a complete fabrication… then if you’re interested I’ll explain Yakov lo mes concept although it’s off topic.
Back to topic, For me, it’s not a chiddush that Lubavitchers think The Rebbes moshiach because he’s our Rebbe, and that was normal practice back in the day when there were more real Tzaddikim (as in Tanya definition) I’m just wondering if anyone else has another current leader in mind as a suitable candidate.
