Rabbi Schapiro made mention of that letter. However, the famous letter is talking in regarding the day of the Yartzeit, one should place the Pa”N within the pages of a Ma’amar or a pamphlet (of sichos/letters) until it can be sent to the Ohel, but not in search of answers!! The Rebbe did, however, say to write to the Ohel and the Rebbe will find a way to respond, but he never said to go searching for responses!!

Rabbi schapiro took one Sicha when others say otherwise and more importantly you are not writing to a Sefer like a גורל you are writing to a Rebbe so what is quoting has no bearing on this situation and it works and many mashpiam and chasidim endorse it and it works with hundreds of thousands of miracles so the Rebbe accepted it. Who is he to say that a custom of hundreds of chasidim is not writing to the Rebbe? What he wants to do with his business, but for him to come and say that it’s not considered writing… Read more »

Throughout history, yidden always did it. Mordechai needed an answer, he went to yeshiva to get it. The rebbe and many others would send Tanya’s or memorom or seforim and people would get the answers. The Torah is the answers to all, Especially when it’s from The Rebbe. If you disagree, basically you don’t understand yiddishkeit. It could be much more elaborated on this way for direction. But anti’s and min believers won’t believe even if it hits them on the nose

As the Holocaust ended, the great sage Rabbi Aharon Kotler was poised to leave the refugee haven of Shanghai. He had to decide whether to go to the Land of Israel to begin rebuilding Torah Jewry there, or to go to America, where the great sage Rabbi Moshe Feinstein was already laying the groundwork in what has long been known in Jewish circles as the “America the Midbar,” the spiritual desert. To help make this historic decision, Rabbi Kotler used the famous “Goral HaGra,” the lottery of the sagely Vilna Gaon. Rabbi Kotler “randomly” opened up the Five Books of… Read more »

1 important note is, that your writing to the Rebbe. The Rebbe has many ways to answer. Some people have the Rebbe come to them in dreams , but for sure placing in the Rebbes Igros s a correct way

The Rebbe NEVER said to write to the Igros and receive answers from him! This is a man-made הרגש made up by an individual in Israel.

The Rebbe did instruct to ask by ידידים מבינים רופא ידיד or go to the Ohel, This is the Rebbe’s answer.

No one is saying write to the igros. You write to the “Rebbe”
