Menachem Shmei, I was skimming through the thread again to search for something and I saw that I missed your response to me about a Chabad rabbi saying that Rashi said that Yaacov Avinu didn’t die physically and you said that that rabbi is saying the truth. That is not what Rashi said! Rashi said that Yaacov Avinu expired, but did not die. He never said that he is alive physically!!! He said he expired but did not die which meforshim have many explanations what it means (one mefoiresh is that he lives on through his children) But you have to be “not too smart” to even think that Rashi thought that Yaacov Avinu is still PHYSICALLY alive during his time…just as you have to be incredibly brainwashed to believe that your rebbe is physically alive today after he died 30 years ago…
