Deranged Chabad believes dead false messiah Schneerson physically alive, orchestrating things on Earth today
How to prove that Rebe continues to live with us?
By SHOLEM LUGOVJuly 22, 2026
According to the teachings of Hasidism and the Torah, reality in the world is determined not by physical sensations or medical conclusions, but by the provisions of the Torah of truth, which establishes true reality. Lubavitch Rebbe King Moshiach is alive and healthy in a literal, material sense in our physical world, since the existence of the universe every second depends on the presence of the head of the generation in the physical body.
The priority of the Torah over material perception: In Judaism, only what does not contradict the Torah is true; if our feelings contradict its words, then the feelings mislead us. History already knows examples when material eyes saw death, but the Torah claimed the opposite: the forefather Yaakov did not die, although he was mourned, embalmed and buried, because "the Egyptians only thought he was dead". Similarly, Moshe-rabeinu did not die, but continues to stand and serve the Almighty "soul in the body".
The need for a physical head of the generation: The entire Jewish people is a single body that cannot exist without a living "head" in the material world. The head of the generation is a "unifying mediator" (*memutsa mehaber*), through whom the Divine life force enters the world; if we assume that it is not in the physical body at least for a moment, the world would instantly cease to exist.
Innovation of our generation: The Rebbe prophetically proclaimed that our generation is the last generation of exile and the first generation of Liberation, which goes to eternal life without any "break to death". Unlike the eight previous chapters of Hasidism, in the ninth generation (counting from Baal Shem Tov) there is no place for the separation of the soul from the body, as the work on purifying the world has been completed.
Events 3 Tamuz as a test of faith: What people saw on the 3rd Tamuz of 1994 is described as a temporary concealment of Moshiach and the most difficult test designed to hide the truth. A similar precedent was at Mount Sinai, when Satan showed the Jews the vision of Moshe's funeral, which is why the people made a mistake and created a golden calf, although Moshe was alive.
Medical anomalies and the power of blessing: Jewish law does not always take medicine into account when establishing the reality of life; for example, a doctor may consider a person dead, while according to the Torah he is alive. There is a known case from the life of Rebe himself, when during a heart attack medical devices recorded the arrest of the heart, but Rebe at that moment continued to speak a Hasidic treatise, demonstrating that he is above the laws of nature.
Ongoing leadership: Rebe continues to respond to letters through the collection "Igrot Kodesh", give advice and work miracles, which would be impossible if he were not in our material world. The fact that the Rebbe has no successor also confirms his physical presence, since the Jewish people cannot remain "like sheep without a shepherd".
Thus, the belief that the Rebbe is alive in a material body is not a metaphor, but a legal fact according to the law of the Torah, supported by the testimonies of prophets and sages. Our task today is to "open our eyes" to see the coming reality of Liberation and King Moshiach himself in our world.
