The other day I asked Rabbi Menachem Shmei a seemingly innocuous question, “What’s your opinion of the flyers being posted throughout the city which declare that the Rebbe is Moshiach?” Rabbi Shmei ignored the question and I’ll offer an explanation for his inaction. The fellow responsible for these flyers is a twenty year old kid who knows nothing about Nigleh or Nistar but he is certain that the Rebbe is Moshiach. And why does he believe this? Because it’s been drummed into his head since he started breathing. And this is why every Lubavicher believes he’s Moshiach, despite the fact that this proposal directly contradicts the Rambam.
