Reply To: Clarification to mod and DaMoshe

Gutte voch from my locality! I hope you’ll forgive my untimely responses, as this convo keeps on going, I’ve decided to drop in more occasionally…

Hope I don’t miss out anyone. Starting with YB, as I said I was born after, but just by seeing Lubavitch today, I think you have your answer. How many Lubavitchers on this very site have clutched their head in their hands, and called me an “embarrassment” etc. because I’m openly sharing what I’ve learned from the Rebbes sichos, even though Chas Veshalom they would never call the Rebbe this way, and even call me a hater for suggesting so… how many have denied everything to do with the Rebbe being Moshiach, even in publications, when it’s literally in the print of the sichos?

I think the answer is quite simple. The Rebbe was so down to earth, and “normal”. Just look at his shluchim. Not every shliach is the top 10% of Lubavitch, yet the Rebbe empowered them to share what they have. Yet, together with the normalcy, the Rebbe was definitely revolutionary. And it seems some people have a hard time living with both, so you have this kind of stuff going on…

And yea, Chassidim will go and find their own proofs to support what the Rebbe said. I think the most telling thing is that in at least one of the Rebbes sichos that I am aware of, he said the Frierdiker Rebbe could still be Moshiach, because he could have techias hameisim with the first wave. So this actually isn’t something new.

As to why it was “impossible” to end up this way- a) partly because there are sources also from the Rebbe about this generation going straight into chaim nitzchiim- So that does pose a seeming contradiction to Gimmel Tammuz- which is why the entire lubavitch refer to Gimmel Tammuz as such, and also why very few will say zia.

But the main answer is that they were having bitachon that things wouldn’t end up this way.

On that note: I’ll add in the next post a part b, very telling.
