Reply To: Question of an ignorant, closed-minded Lubavitcher

Menachem, while i agree that that alone is not an issue of deification and i don’t think it’s even a hint to it, you need to understand the difference between the other years you mentioned. Klal yisroel has a minhag to change page letters and years which have bad things, like shmad, etc…so as not to mention them. I’ve never heard of a minhag to change a year to fit a positive thing, however. So i believe that’s unique, but the other changes are almost universal
