Rabbi Isaac Luria, the leading figure of the Safed kabbalistic revival in sixteenth-century Safed, and Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe, had two characteristics in common. They both visited the grave of their spiritual mentor regularly, and their disciples and followers saw them as messianic figures. In this study, I will consider one of the significant reasons for these grave visitations and its significance. It will be argued that the motivation and the results of these visitations were similar in both cases. The charisma and religious authority of the deceased figure was transferred in each case to the living figure through the association and communication that was claimed to have taken place during these grave visitations. The practical implications of this transfer of charisma and religious authority will also be considered.

拉比 Isaac Luria 和拉比 Menachem Mendel Schneerson 的坟墓访问

拉比 Isaac Luria 是 16 世纪 Safed 卡巴拉教复兴的领军人物，和拉比 Menachem Mendel Schneerson，第七任 Lubavitcher Rebbe，有两个共同特征。他们都定期拜访他们精神导师的坟墓，他们的门徒和追随者将他们视为弥赛亚人物。在这项研究中，我将考虑这些严重访问的重要原因之一及其重要性。可以争论的是，这些访问的动机和结果在这两种情况下是相似的。死者的魅力和宗教权威在每个案例中都通过据称在这些严重访问期间发生的联系和交流转移到了活着的人身上。
