Question: Reb, why hasn't the Lubavitch Rebbi been replaced???770 crown hights
Answer: It is hard to replace a person that did so much. This has always been a problem in chassidic groups. The holy Rebbe was usually replaced by a son but the son was usually not nearly as holy as his father. Overtime he grew though and also became great. In other cases, when the new Rebbe was crowned, many followers of the old Rebbe, simply left as they couldn't take such a difference of new leadership. It was always tradition that the Rebbe on his deathbed would pick his replacement. In this particular case, nobody was chossen by the Rebbe and there are few in this generation who did so much good work. Is it healthy for there to be followers without a Rebbe? Well, in Breslov, each community has leaders which they call Rav's, most are on the level of being Rebbes themselves. So they are not really without guides. We will have to see what turns up with this movement. Its tradition is a long one and important one for the world. Unfortunately, at this time, we have to really pray that it all comes together for them again.

Question: There was a sign at Reb meir baal haness kever that the kever of Rachel wife of Akiva is a fake
Answer: i heard the rummer and I hold that anywhere people visit in order to connect to a particular tzaddik, regardless if it was a mistake or not of their actual burial, it brings the Tzaddik's presence to that place and it has their holiness.Peoples thoughts and prayers change a place. When thousands have thought about her in this place to connect to her, would this have no affect on bringing her kedusha down? Even Rabbi Meirs kever I heard is questionable. Most of the shuls in tzfat are a fake and were destroyed in the earthquake, with only a wall or two left, now they turned the shul into 10x its original size.

Subject:praying at Graves
Question: During one of the interviews you said that you went to the cemetery and prayed to the founder of Tzfat. You stated also that you cried and cried because of what is happening to your community. Additionally, you stated that he had granted you many miracles.
Answer: There are many opinions which say you can talk and ask for their assistance, but certainly we don't pray to them. This is obviously a misunderstanding of what I had said. It is tradition to ask for assistance to Tzaddikim to pray on your behalf since they are closer to Hashem due to their high level of holiness. There is a big diffence between asking someone to pray and praying to them. There are opinions though that say we are not even to ASK at the grave. Chassidic and Sefardic communities don't hold this as it is taught in the Kabbalah in the Zohar and Arizal's sefarim numerous stories where this was a regular practice. Never but never should one pray to another human being alive or dead. Only to Hashem. Some Chassidim write notes and place them next to the grave.
