Who is the Head of Our Generation?
For September 1th 2022
Deuteronomy 18:15
נָבִ֨יא מִקִּרְבְּךָ֤ מֵאַחֶ֙יךָ֙ כָּמֹ֔נִי יָקִ֥ים לְךָ֖ יי אֱ"לֹהֶ֑יךָ אֵלָ֖יו תִּשְׁמָעֽוּן׃
A prophet from among you, from your brothers, like me, the L-rd, your G-d will set up for you; you shall hearken to him.
Moses refers to Joshuah in this verse. Rashi: The meaning of this verse is: just as I am among you, from your brothers, so will He set up for you [another prophet] in my stead, and so on, from prophet to prophet.
Every generation has his prophet, his leider, his nasi = head of the generation. In our generation that is the Lubavitscher Rebbe Menachem M. Schneerson.
