CS: “Here’s it says in Hayom Yom introduction (and Beis HaRav
is well known)
…
The Rebbe is Ben achar Ben to the Maharal, who was known as having descended from Malchus Beis Dovid.”
You really don’t get it, do you? I, and at least a few others on this thread, don’t accept anything the Lubavicher rebbe says that could lead to a claim that he himself is Mashiach or a descendent of David Hamelech, because we believe he is just pushing an agenda.
So PLEASE, if you want to bring proofs about anything at all, use only other non-Lubavich sources, and especially nothing from the last Lubavicher rebbe!
Re the Maharal’s alleged yichus to David Hamelech (I say alleged because there seems to be a disagreement about this. Not that it makes any difference to us because the Maharal was as great as he was regardless of his yichus.), it is through Rashi WHO HAD NO SONS. So it is most definitely NOT ben achar ben to David Hamelech.
Furthermore, the Tzemach Tzedek, who was the Lubavicher rebbe’s paternal ancestor, was not ben achar ben of the Baal Hatanya, and his paternal line is unknown (other than the claim that he was a descendant of the Metzudos). So how on earth do you know that the Lubavicher rebbe was ben achar ben from the Maharal? Oh, I know. He said so himself.
