Chamisha BiTEVES 5771 (two parts).

Can the spiritual idea of “Rebbe” (and the nature of the relationship between a Rebbe and Chassidim) be explained In Nigla (halachic) terms at all? Based on the Sicha of 2 NISSAN 5748, Likutei Sichos vol. 19 Shoftim P. 165 ff. and vol 23 Pinchas P. 190 ff.

Part One. The Story. The question Melech (king) vs. Nassi (spiritual leader).

Part Two. The two roles seem so distinctive. In essence (ideally) however they are the same.
