Is 770 the dwelling place of the Shechina?
Do you believe that 770 is the Mikdash?
“That’s absurd! Everyone knows the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed, and the Shechina either returned to Heaven or rests at the Kosel. Right?”
But wait – the pasuk says that after the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed, the Shechina dwells in the “small mikdash.”
Where is the “small mikdash” (or “second to the Mikdash” –Rashi/Targum)?
R’ Elazar says (????? ??,?): “This is the house of our rebbe in Bavel.”
“The Shechina remained with the Jews wherever they were exiled” – but where?
Abaye says it’s in the central Beis Knesses of the time.
Now, the question is: Where is the “central shul”? And who is “our rebbe”?
That’s up for debate, but I think you can guess what the average Lubavitcher would answer…
