Yankel,
@menachem That’s strange – you have an opinion about everything under the sun , and on mashiach min hameitim , not ?
If you scroll through my posts, you’ll see that I rarely voice my opinion on Chabad matters here.
I am not naive enough to believe that I can convince people to become Lubavitch on an adversarial online forum.
What I do try to do is defend clear cut Torah ideas that are being challenged by עמי הארץ.
For example:
1. I never tried proving or convincing anyone that the Rebbe is a novi.
I did argue that Torah does not negate the concept of nevuah nowadays.
2. I never tried to explain what it means עצמות ומהות ווי ער האט זיך אריינגעשטעלט אין א גוף, nor did I try to prove that this applies to the Rebbe.
This is a complex topic that could take long shiurim with much background to understand (I referenced to a shiur of Rabbi YY).
I did argue that it’s ridiculous to passel a gadol for saying something that is hard to understand, while there are so many tzaddikim throughout the generations who made similar statements.
3. I never said anything about the Rebbe being alive.
When someone posted, in her ignorance, that no meforash understands יעקב לא מת literally, I argued that this is clearly the opinion of Rashi (as understood by Maharsha and Artscroll), Rif, Iyun Yaakov and Etz Yosef.
4. I never said anything about the Rebbe being Moshiach.
I did argue that the fundamental issue with Yoshke is something other than משיח מן המתים.
Unfortunately, some posters here seem to have been blinded by their hate, to the point of being incapable of having a normal Torah dialog.
