LostSpark: “How is that AZ? Enlighten me”
Are you serious? I thought I explained that. If you attribute some sort of spiritual power to an image (that can’t even be seen at the time!), isn’t that a”z?
CS: “Arso the bris thing was directed by The Rebbe.”
That’s what makes it worse! He is attributing some special spiritual power to a photo of himself!
For those who are interested in a source, I looked it up online and it can be found on the chabadpedia website, among others. Do a search for תמונת הרבי ברית סנדק (the first two words in quotes) and you will find it. The Lubavicher rebbe explains that the photo should be placed on the knees of the sandek, and the reason the chassidim put it there is because they would actually like the rebbe himself (should I be capitalizing the word “himself”?) to be sandek.
