<dd>Am I mistaken or don't some of the suggestions and advice in the
video at the URL below contradict what Rav Schacter has written?

Commentor #2 asks your basic question. Commentor #4 answers him.

Can a dead person actually intercede on anyone's behalf? <br><br>
"#4 replying to #2, No one thinks we are praying to the Rebbe.
The only people saying such are misnagdim belittling a custom that the
Gra himself endorses, not to mention backed by numerous sources in
Tanach. "<br><br>

And who do they think will give them advice as it says if not
RMMS?<br><br>
And does the GRA himself really endorse this "custom"?<br><br>
Be real. The video certainly makes it seem that RMMS is the one who
will answer.<br><br>

<font size=3>Today people continue to send letters to be placed at the
Ohel for the Rebbe's guidance and intervention On High, in the age-old
tradition of written prayer petitions at our holiest sites. <br><br>
