Regarding Shanghai
When the Rebbe Rayatz came to America, he launched his own Va’ad Hatzalah to save Chabad Yeshiva Bochurim, and after being approached by the Va’ad Hatzalah and promised that the Chabad Bochurim will be recipients of the funds, the Rebbe Rayatz closed his own Va’ad Hatzalah and told his donors to donate to the main Va’ad Hatzalah.
However, unbeknownst to the Rebbe Rayatz, the Va’ad Hatzalah, which was controlled by Rabbi Aharon Kotler and Rabbi Avraham Kalmanowitz (Rosh Yeshiva of Mir), made a policy to only help Bochurim of Litvische Yeshivos. They sent the money to Shanghai, addressed to Rabbi Meir Ashkenazi, with orders that the money be given to everyone aside for Chabad Rabbi Meir Ashkenazi did not heed their directions, and used part of the funds for the Chabad Yeshiva students, knowing that the funds were given by donors who wished that Chabad students enjoy it too.
When this was discovered, the Va’ad Hatzalah stopped sending money through Rabbi Ashkenazi, and instead sent it directly to the Mir Yeshiva stationed in Shanghai. As a result, Bochurim from Chabad Yeshiva, Amshinov Yeshiva and Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin were left to starve, and some of them died.
While this was going on, Rabbi Aharon Kotler called Rabbi Meir Ashkenazi to a Din Torah, asking for the funds that Rabbi Ashkenazi used for Chabad students during the war, and demanding he pay it back.
When the Din Torah took place, Rabbi Ashkenazi presented his claims to the Beis Din, and the Beis Din found that Rabbi Aharon Kotler actually owes money to Rabbi Ashkenazi for risking his life to get the money from the embassy which was extremely dangerous cuz it was illegal to send money from the u.s. to Japan due to the fact that they were in war at the time.
You can find letters online regarding what was happening at the time I will post a link in the next post

@rso you really never opened a gemora b4 cause ur arguing with even simple gemoro
Obviously it’s a hergesh. nowhere in halacha it says “the lubavicher rebbe is moshiach”
Rather based the criteria of moshiach we feel the rebbe fits this if you feel otherwise that’s ok (I think I said this a few times already and as long as no one is going against halacha I don’t see why anyone should care who we feel is moshiach)
If you thought it was a halacha. I’m sorry
