The belief in the eternal life of the Rebbe is based on Torah sources in general and Chassidic teachings specifically - that in every generation there must be a leader of the generation (Nasi HaDor) as a living person in physical form, and that our generation is the generation of redemption with the Rebbe as melech hamoshiach who will bring the true and complete redemption. | The belief in the eternal life of the Rebbe is based on Torah sources in general and Chassidic teachings specifically - that in every generation there must be a leader of the generation (Nasi HaDor) as a living person in physical form, and that our generation is the generation of redemption with the Rebbe as melech hamoshiach who will bring the true and complete redemption. | ||
