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

>>>Did he have a special message from God for the Jewish People?

Yes. All the questions here on what the Rebbe said are answered by what the Rebbe actually said. Learn the sicha. Unless questions appeal more than answers.

>>>Tzaddikim tend to hide their light under a bushel.

Correct. The Rebbe very rarely hinted to his tzidkus only when extremely necessary.
Again, if you learn the actual sicha you’ll see that the Rebbe is speaking about the tzidkus of his father-in-law. Chassidim inferred from it to apply it to the Rebbe as well.
Similar to how your father might not tell you how to respect him, but you learn from the way he respects his own parents.

On this topic, while looking through Igros Kodesh (collection of Rebbe’s letters gathered from the recipients or archives) here is something shocking I came across (vol. 16, letter #5907):

Yaakov Zerubavel was a leftist philosopher who fought vehemently against Yiddishkeit.
In this 5718 letter to Yaakov Avraham Leselbaum, a relative of the philosopher, the Rebbe asks him to meet up with Zerubaval and details what he should tell him so he should rethink his views and stop spreading his nonsense. The letter finishes off:
ולאות ולמופת לקרובו הנ”ל אשר בא העת לבקורת עוד הפעם על שיטתו בעבר, יהי’ לו החלום שבסמוך לדבורו עמו.
“As a sign and miracle for your relative that the time has come to rethink his opinion – he will have a dream near the time that you speak to him.”

I don’t know the end of the story, but a few months later, we find another letter to Leselbaum:
נהניתי במאד לקרות בו, אשר סו”ס עלה בידו לקיים בקשתי ולמסור למר ז. שי’ את הדברים. וטוב במיוחד שלא נכנס לכל ויכוחים וכל שקו”ט, כי לא זו הכוונה. ועפי”ז מובן ג”כ, שגם להבא אין לו להכנס בוכוחים בזה. והרי עשה שליחותי וגם אני עשיתי שליחותי שלי.
“You have fulfilled your mission and I have fulfilled mine…”
