But was he the Moshiach? Did he fulfill *any* of the nevu'ot?

So ur saying he understood this life better then hearafter?

Chassidus is the description of reality. No one is confusing anything here.

Chassidus is a description of living in a fantasy world and at the same time trying to live in the real world, while calling the fantasy world the real one. Chassidus is also Avoda Zara.

chas veshalom to say the rebbe is no longer here! that is a lie. same also about the frierdiker rebbe. however by the rebbe, its already after the time which as the rebbe says in the sicha after the shiva of the rebetzin, that the aspect of "dovid melech yisroel chay vekayam" was already drawn down into the reality of the world, and therefore the whole inyon of speaking about how to connect to the rebbe, when you cannot see him - this only adds to the everlasting life of "dovid malko meshicha", and as the rebbe said in the sicha of shabbos parshas bo, תשנ''ב that in this generation we dont have the "diminishing of the luminaries" as was the histalkus of the previous rebbe, since all the great revelations, were already drawn into the world

@@zalmtee8981 Literally nothing you wrote makes even the slightest bit of sense.

@@davidschalit907 this video is an inside chabad focus. if you want to understand the qoutes and sources i brought, you might want to look up the original. you obviously have no idea what its talking about.

Go set up a table next to the tzfatim and say your dollars are fake mine are real, the Rebbe told me

@avremelkatz6006 Respectfully, he did answer it, very humbly & honestly. He said “I don’t know”. I find it so soothing to hear a Rabbi say I don’t know, especially on a public forum. Kudos. Even though sadly we know, as he said in the onset of this 10 min response. I don’t want to get in the details or nitty gritty of this subject for obvious reasons (using my own words here). Due to the extreme sensitivity of the subject one would or should not deal with most of the questions they were all have, as you yourself stated. I personally think there are 2 parts to your question, 1) is this right, is this what the Rebbe wants, is this permissible according to Halacha, etc etc. 2) if the answers to part 1 is yes, for argument sake. Then come the next stage to ask if all of the above is something I can push down others throats, if I believe this is right that I should have permission to force anyone and everyone to follow suite especially in the Rebbes Shul/presence as Kovod for the Rebbe physically being here. And… as far as part 2 is absolutely A) תלוי בהרגש -pending each individuals feelings. B) as the Rebbe said אורות דתהו וכלים דתיקון simply translated it must be done in away that an other will be able to accept it. Means without force without violence. In a way of Ahavas Yisroel in a way that the other person feels ok to accept it. Therefore the Rabbi didn’t want to get into these specifics because of the deep rooted ugly controversy.

Another question could be asked , that although all the rebbeim said about their fathers what was said in the beginning of the video, but as far as I know they didn't keep the chair and shtender ... usually we learn what to do from maysoh ovos. I would argue you can't bring a proof from the yom tov meals at the friedike rebbe apartment, because that's a family honor , personally my in laws have set my mother in laws place at the table . The only hint I would think of , I heard in 78 after the rebbes heart attack, when the rebbe was in his office he asked the regular place be set up as if the rebbe was downstairs

@@avremelkatz6006 the rebbe said he is the rebbe, oh wow

@@avremelkatz6006 he's pulling these answers out of his you know what, all philosophizing. I never heard one Gemara out of these so called rabbis, just stories, oy what foolishness this kabbalah from Moses de leon has brought upon us.

"Connect the Rebbe"?!? Isn't talking to the *dead* forbidden in the Tanakh?

​@ingela_injeela through אוב and ידוני

WTH?!?!

So is the rebbe the only difference is that those in the time of rabbainu hakadosh were on a high enough level to see him but we are not on a high enough level to see the rebbe

@@moshiachnow78 If you believe that, you're insane. This is one reason why Chabad is completely ostracized and disconnected from mainstream Judaism

@@rationalistssj6540 but we are not ostracized from mainstream Judaism almost every gadol from Rabbi soloveitchik to Rabbi Jonathan sacks from the vizhnitzer rebbe to the gerer rebbe from ovadya Yosef to the babasali all had tremendous respect and reverence for the rebbe none of them treated the rebbe like they were his equals they all tried the rebbe like the Minister treats the king

@@moshiachnow78 R' Aharon Kotler, R' Yaakov Kaminetzky, R' Shach, the Satmar rebbe and many more, all of whom were greater in nigleh and nister than the rebbe, had nothing to do with him and held that many of his shitos were problematic; and today we see how true that was, when most of the chassidim are completely off the rails, espousing crazy heretical beliefs

​@@titmus312 "There is no such thing as a Chasid without a Rebbe" That's why Chabad (& Breslov) are not considered part of the "Mainstream" (Belz, Bobov, Kloizenberg, etc) Chasidic world.

Every tzaddik and great Rabbi of history had their fare share of followers who felt this way about each one.

Cool story bruh. Go eat some cholent and calm down

And he is dead

​@@rationalistssj6540respect the Rebbe and be abundantly blessed ....

Respect the Rebbe and be blessed

Sorry to upset you, but as a chabadnik we believe the Rebbe is way more than rabenu hakadosh because he's the nasi hador of a way lower generation, like the aspect hoe Moshe rabenu envied the generation of the geulah and rabbi Akiva, besides as you know we strongly believe he's Mashiach, like we say in slichos about mashiach and not rabenu hakadosh...connect don't criticize

@@arib2159 If you believe that, you need a refuah sheleimah. There were many even in his generation who were greater than he was in all respects. And he cannot be Moshiach because he is dead (and San 98 means something else entirely); moreover, he did not fulfill any of the criteria for being Moshiach; he didn't battle and defeat the nations, didn't build the beis hamikdash, didn't gather the dispersed of klal Yisrael; see Rambam Melachim 11:4

This is the problem with all חסידות. Connection to God through holy men is not a Jewish idea.

All he is doing is quoting things found in chassidus. Chassidic Judaism has been accepted as Judaism. Everything he said u can find in other branches of chassidus. Just because u don’t have the intellectual rigger to make distinctions and look at things in depth and perhaps lack general education on things said in our holy sources and by holy rebbes and gedolei yisroel doesn’t mean there isn’t what to rely on

i envy you that you are worthy of defending Hashem and have the tzidkus to call out other Jews as heretics. You must be an amazing Misnagid.

You are 100% correct. What they believe is akin to the Christian 'second coming' which was an invention of convenience, seeing that J failed to fulfill all the key prohecies of Tanach.

@@rationalistssj6540 being similar is not a crime. They believe in the 10 commandments too shall we throw those out as well? The question is are there things in our tradition to rely upon. That’s the only relevant question

Yeshayahu 7:14 doesn't say virgin. That prophecy is not about Mashiach, in any case.

@@akivatalansky No matter what 'עלםה' means *today* . What matters is what it *meant* to the readers, from the mouth and pen of Isaiah the Prophet - and from the Spirit of G-d.
