“Coffee Addict: What are you trying to imply with the shoes thing? It seems random and weird, but what would be theoretically wrong with it? Why is it worse than having a minhag to wear a purple tie on the first Thursday of every month or any other random thing?“
Neville,
I was wondering if Lubavitch puts the rebbe on a higher level than even the Avos Hakedoshim because I’ve never heard of ANYONE taking off their shoes going into מערת המכפלה or קבר רחל and the only reason why they do it is because they view that land specifically as ״אדמת קדש״ because the rebbe is buried there
Btw in shul we have a yerushalmi shiur (brachos) and we learned the Gemara of “Menachem shmei” but over there moshiach was named Menachem and went up to שמים as a baby
