have 'apparitions' of The Rebbe (1902-1994) had an impact on Shabtai Zisel / 'Bob Dylan'?
Yoram Bilu, 2013. "We want to see our king": apparitions in messianic Habad. Ethos 41(1):98-126. AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT. Reports of apparitions of the late Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the last leader of the Habad Hasidic movement, have been spreading among the radically messianic Hasidim (meshichistim) in Israel, who maintain that the Rabbi, the designated Messiah, has not died. Expanding on the cognitive model of source misattribution, I seek to account for the apparitions by unpacking the messianic ecology cultivated by the meshichistim to make the absent Rabbi present. Habad's dialectical mysticism and anguish over the Rabbi's disappearance are likely to provide the mindset and motivation for sightings, but it is the rich array of icons and traces of the Rabbi, and mimetic practices in which they are embedded, that constitute the perceptual field where he can be seen. This cultural décor is particularly evident for apparitions in ritual arenas, while apparitions in mundane settings are often triggered by acute distress. Comparing the apparitions to visions in christianity, I account for the lingering ambivalence toward apparitions in messianic Habad by highlighting the epistemological constraints imposed on them by the denial of the Rabbi's death.

No, they haven't. Are you seeing things again? People in white coats coming to take you away?

Shalom & Boker tov...in fact, since Yoram Bilu published her paper, the reports have increased.
However, this Sho'ah denying, neo-nationalsozialst troll has been hiding behind several aliasesL 'joel carnie', 'amammothundertaking', 'trilobiter1', 'mutley', and 'ian sellars', 'nancygene'. Since ca. 2008, he has been lying (I am not the only victim of this bovine excrement), posturing, cyberstalking, slandering with antisemitic propoganda.
Again, what is needed:
verifiable name:
verifiable address:
verifiable telephone number:
This has not been forthcoming because this liar knows full well prompt legal action will be taken.
