I don’t have further questions, but the questions on the table haven’t really been answered.

The “betten the Rebbe” has been explained as not davening to the Rebbe, but it hasn’t been answered why he needed to say the chiddush of atzmus araingshtelt in a guf, since anyone can daven on behalf of anyone else, and nobody ever questions that fact, or even why (at least not “b’raash gadol”[although perhaps the rash gadol was only on the answer]). The fact that we are all one is enough to explain why we can daven for each other, and the whole Rebbe/tzaddik thing doesn’t need to be brought in, unless there’s something more going on.

I also don’t recall anyone answering how the Rebbe called the Frierdike Rebbe a kol yachol.

I may have missed a couple of posts, so please link or quote if these were in fact answered.
