@mdd1,
Not sure what happened to my original comment about the Rebbe not being known for his gadlus in Torah, maybe the mods will put it up soon, if they don’t, then here goes:
You don’t need to take my word for it that the Rebbe zy”a was boki in all מקצועות התורה from Shas, Rishonim and Achronim to Kabbalah from Pri Eitz Chayim to Kisvei HoArizal to Zohar, you can simply open a copy of his Chiddushim Al HaRambam or Al HaShas, or any volume of Likkutei Sichos and see the copious footnotes from referencing mamash Kol HaTorah Kuloh. Additionally, as I mentioned earlier on in this thread, the well known story of the Rebbe with Reb Boruch Ber z”l. If you won’t believe the story, simply call up Rabbi Yosef Krupnik of the Vaad Harabbanim of Detroit and ask him yourself, he’s not a Lubavitcher, and he’s number is available online.
