Rso:
Me: “in normal situations we ask what the halacha is and don’t rely on how neshama deep it is. But it can definitely add. And in rare cases even be relied upon (such as pinchas, Queen Esther etc)”
Rso “1. You are neither of those two tzaddikei olam, and you won’t deny that, so your proof is non-existent.”
No but since their story is part of Torah there are lessons to be learnt on our level (the Rebbe discusses one with this idea of the essence of the neshama etc.)
“2. Just as you think it “adds”, reform and conservative also claim it adds. But it doesn’t. It detracts.”
I find this ironic, as you said earlier that this is something that historically the Chabad teased the chagas chassidim about. And you are Chagas yourself. Yeah we used to not be into miracles. But with yeridas hadoros, we find today that just talk of the Rebbe’s Torah and Avodas Hashem doesn’t excite people as much as when accompanied by the miracle stories, although past generations of lubavitchers wouldn’t bother to talk about “the miracles rolling about under the table.”
