Arso I looked up צפונות שנה on Hebrew books as you suggested. No such sefer there.
Mod: “Rav Chaim saying he met moshiach is not ‘same here’ to claiming he is moshiach.”
Of course not, but it seems the problem here is that people don’t believe anyone saying anything out of the ordinary, and think that if they do, they must be delusional, arrogant and fooled their followers. Hence my bringing in Rav Chaim Kanievsky, the Sar HaTorah (better DaMoshe?) of the Litvish world. As far as I know, it isn’t common to claim to have met Moshiach, and he has passed away since. So I’m curious how people take that- the same ones who are so incredulous about Chabad.
