Wow. This sounds like a pending civil war (well, okay, machaloqet) in the genuinely traditional Orthodox world.

I certainly don't have the wherewithal to make a judgment. But Rabbi Kahana''s brother? Drool!

Re the Rebbe's insistence that only Mashiach can reinstitute the Sanhedrion: according to RaMBa"M Mashiach will be recognized as such only after he has fulfilled all the prophecies (built the Temple, etc.). So how are we to know one of the members or potential members of the Sanhedrion isn't Mashiach?

Is there a tradition that Mashiach will be recognized as such before he does anything?
