Rashi said that Yaacov Avinu expired, but did not die. He never said that he is alive physically!!! He said he expired but did not die which meforshim have many explanations what it means (one mefoiresh is that he lives on through his children)
Philosopher, don’t parade your ignorance like a badge of honor.
The difference between us is that you are making random claims about the pshat of Rashi, while I brought Rashi’s lashon and sources and the various mefarshim.
What I said is not unique to Chabad.
Anyone can open up an artscroll Gemara (Taanis 5B) and see for themselves in the footnotes: The classic understanding is: Rashi understood it literally (נדמה להם שהוא מת אבל חי היה – it seemed to them that he died, but really he was alive), while other mefarshim (such as Maharsha) argue and say that the Gemara refers to his children, or the like.
If you don’t believe me, open a Artscroll.
