The concept of Tzadik comes from the Talmud, and it appears in the Torah when the Patriarchs visited the graves of their forefathers to pray on their behalf.

I do not believe Ronnen was a Messichist Chabadnik. What he said is basically what Rabbi Richman said, concerning the Talmud which talks about Jacob being alive through his children. I believe you are just rejecting the teaching based on prejudice.

No straw men bro. I know it's OK to go to a Tzadik, and ask him to pray for you, maybe G-d will listen to him instead of you. I didn't consider that what's he was talking about, because everyone does it, even the Sephardics are chilling with Rav Ovadia, so if everyone is giving them a hard time, like 90% of people are hypocrites. It's far more likely in my mind he was sneaking a Mashiah thing in there.

He did not mention moshiach. The part which you quoted is in regards to praying at the tzadik's grave, as I mentioned before. I understand your argument, but I do not believe that is what he was talking about...

The topic of his discussion was 'eternal life' and I felt he presented the topic adequately. If you think it was saying Rebbe was Moshiach I apologize.

muman613:
I wanted to relate a story about a discussion I had with my Rabbi over Shabbat lunch. Today I sat by him and we had a very long discussion.

I brought up Rabbi Moshe Parry, asking if he had met him. He had not. But then I brought of Rabbi Kahane (Zt'l) and mentioned a video I posted the other night of Rabbi Parry talking to a Rosh Yeshiva in LA about his Rabbi pictures on the wall, which prominently featured Rabbi Kahane.

I said to my Rabbi that I felt that Rabbi Kahane and the Rebbe both were working for the same goals. The release of the Soviet Jews and the establishment of a strong Jewish state in the Holy Land. My Rabbi very happily agreed with me and explained that the Rebbe and Rabbi Kahane were both Tzadiks with a somewhat different approach to politics.

I was very impressed that my Rabbi, who was raised a Chabadnik in a long line of Chabad Rabbis would put Rabbi Kahane (who in my book is a Gedolim) on the same level as his Rebbe. It was in relation to these two Tzadiks which I mentioned the idea that they both were sparks of Moshiach.

Anyway, I am relieved that my Kahanist inclinations are appreciated from my Rabbi. We had 3 visitors from Israel with us today, and I enjoyed speaking with them about what Rabbi Kahane would say about living in the land.
