There are:
1) Yiddin who daven to Hashem at kvorim and DO NOT request the nefesh of the nistalek to intercede on their behalf (rather it is understood the the Nefesh may do so).
2) Yiddin who daven to Hashem at Kvorim and, per the referenced M”E, do request the nistalek to intercede on their behalf.Neither of the above sounds like what CS is describing.

I don’t think you are right about this. Who allows asking a Nistalek for a bracha (at the kever or not)? There is a difference between asking the nistalek to intercede and asking the nistalek for a bracha. The problem is further compounded when the nistalek is believed to “run the world like Trump runs America.”
January 29, 2025 4:41 pm at 4:41 pm #2358009Menachem ShmeiParticipantIs 770 the dwelling place of the Shechina?
Do you believe that 770 is the Mikdash?“That’s absurd! Everyone knows the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed, and the Shechina either returned to Heaven or rests at the Kosel. Right?”
But wait – the pasuk says that after the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed, the Shechina dwells in the “small mikdash.”
Where is the “small mikdash” (or “second to the Mikdash” –Rashi/Targum)?
R’ Elazar says (מגילה כט,א): “This is the house of our rebbe in Bavel.”“The Shechina remained with the Jews wherever they were exiled” – but where?
Abaye says it’s in the central Beis Knesses of the time.Now, the question is: Where is the “central shul”? And who is “our rebbe”?
That’s up for debate, but I think you can guess what the average Lubavitcher would answer…
January 29, 2025 4:42 pm at 4:42 pm #2358117ujmParticipantCS: I don’t quite understand if you have a shaila of, say, should I marry this person, or which Yeshiva should I send my son to, or how should I resolve a fight with my neighbor, or should I dedicate my life to Torah exclusively or should I also take a job, or is this particular job offer the proper hashkafa and tznius (and should I accept it), or how should I enforce tznius standards in my family, etc.
How does the Lubavitcher Rebbe zt’l answer those questions for you when you ask him shailas similar to the above examples.
