It’s the battle of the informal social media mediums, and with the Hachtorah looming this Sunday night the flood of information is hard to contain! Yesterday a twitter account with the name ‘Vaad Hakohol’ began circulating in the comments section of the CrownHeights.info. Just a day earlier Zaki Tamirs VoteTamir blog came back to life with announcements about the Hachtorah ceremony of Rabbi Yosef Braun, while the Vaad Twitter account promises to give up to the minute info on the Vaad.

A Rebbe is far more than a Rabbi. The latter is a person who is knowledgeable about Jewish laws and practices. The Rebbe, on the other hand, not only possesses such revealed knowledge, but is also an expert on the inner essence of life, the concealed knowledge. The Rebbe is often described as a person touched by G-d, someone who possesses immense powers to sustain the lives of his followers, his Chassidim, on earthly and spiritual planes. The Chassidim, in turn, feel dependent on their Rebbe for guidance and help in accessing Divine grace about all matters — spiritual and mundane (Dr Joseph H. Berke: A Tale of Two Orphans)
