Reply To: @Chabad Shluchah Please Explain Why Davening To/Betten a Rebbe is Okay

@CS I’m entirely unfamiliar with classic Chassidic sources, and still have no problem with them being brought as sources; I thought it would be obvious that you can’t bring the Rebbe as a source if the validity of those ideas are in question. I have no problem with you clarifying who the Rebbe was. “Is” would be a bot more complicated, and probably more problematic, as he isn’t. Dan likaf zchus means that if you see something questionable and have no definite knowledge of the situation you need to be dan the individual lkaf zchus. It does not mean that when extremely problematic halachic issues have been raised, verified, and recorded in sichas, that you must ignore them. Again, I would appreciate an honest response explaining the troublesome sources, not beating around them with claims of fealty to the Rebbe. Don’t you think he’d rather you explain them and spread the light more than backing away with an lol?
