Let me rephrase what I wrote in an earlier post. I wrote that the Lubavitche Rebbe “is an idol that you worship”. I would like to say instead that Lubavitche Chassidim who believe in the Rebbe’s divine powers are turning him into an idol. I have not done much research into the Rebbes writings and have not heard many recordings. I did watch a few videos of his speeches and I was impressed with what he had to say however lately I’ve been reading things he wrote and seeing videos that i didnt see until now and can conclude that in his later years he may have been sending his Chassidim mixed messages regarding him being moshiach. But I cannot say “he is an idol”, rather he is being made into an idol by those who worship him. The worshippers of the Rebbe are doing a tremendous disservice to the PERSON they so admire.
