Divinizing the Messiah
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2007 10:24 am
Hi, everyone,
Posting a link here to a fascinating article from Israeli news on the Chabad Lubavitchers, a contemporary Hasidic sect with 200,000+ adherents. The article mentions a Lubavitcher from Portland, and there are Chabad centers both across the river and in Vancouver where I live.
Remarkable to see how devout Jews have turned their Messiah into something like God....
