Reply To: Clarification to mod and DaMoshe

Yb,

“ You are the only group who imposes YOUR leader as navi, HALACHICALLY OBLIGATING , US [on the pain of mita byedei shamayim] to obey his directives.”

Never heard of this. To the best of my limited knowledge this would only be applicable if a big body of rabbis (Sanhedrin?) would pasken that this is the case. There’s no threat here, only positive motivation.

“You are the only group who says that YOUR leader is greater than Moshe Our Teacher [who spoke with God peh el peh]”

No, the only thing I’ve learned in this regard is that we can appreciate Moshe s greatness, through seeing what his extension is via our Rebbe. So, IT could be my appreciation of my Rebbe is greater than another Jews appreciation of Moshe.

Now obviously if the Rebbe does turn out to be Moshiach, as in builds the Beis HaMikdash, defeats our enemies etc, as per the Rambam regarding Moshiach Vadai, he will in many aspects be much greater than Moshe, as everyone, from Avraham Avinu down, will learn from Moshiach after they have techias hameisim. Moshiachs Neshama is the only one to derive from Adam Kadmon, higher than Atzilus.

The question would then be if The Rebbe was granted this Neshama already by his initial revelation. I suspect not, as this whole post Gimmel Tammuz period proves. My sense is that this Neshama will shine so great that there will be no questions about who he is. And we have this time to prepare. But that’s the only place where that would come in. And Moshe still had higher Nevuah than Moshiach will have, right?
