Nome – invoking zchusim from the avos is something we do everyday. Malachim are a bit controversial; i.e. machnisei rachamim, but that’s not relevant here – those tefilos always are that the malachim bring our tefilos to Hashem.
I was not referring to likutei sichos’ quality per se, and seforim aren’t “reading material”. The yeshiva worlds seforim are very different from anything even in mainstream chabad, so I don’t see the comparison at all. Rav Belsky held that the sefer isn’t a sefer.
“Bzchus adonainu bar yochai”
Lekovod hatana eloki, rabi shimon bar yochai ”
Where in lag baomer liturgy is there even a request to him at all?
