“A Rebbe is Also a Prophet”
Shabbos Night Live with Rabbi Shmuel Butman: Who said that "a Rebbe is also a navie"? How was the Rebbe Rayatz similar to Moshe Rabbeinu? why is it that only Moshe Rabbeinu was "heavy tongued"? Video

Toda Raba, We Want Moshiach Now!
Outstanding shiur this week, even more gevaldig than usual!
I have one question: This yud shvat will be 70 years since the histalkus of the Frierdiker Rebbe, but can we really say it’s 70 years of our Rebbe’s nesius, given that he didn’t officially accept the nesius until the following year?
Reply from the Vaad of COLlive:
The rebbe was appointed by the frierdiker rebbe to look after the central institutions of Lubavitch, including outreach, publication, and social and spiritual activities. These were continued and expanded by the rebbe immediately following yud Shevat.
The Rebbe began to be involved in the lives of Chassidim and especially bochrim, immediately. The Rebbe also reached out to people of the entire world, and performed miracles.
To chassidim, the Rebbe became the Rebbe immediately on Yud Shevat, 70 years ago.
