Once, during dollars, the Rebbe was presented with a
tambourine decorated for Moshiach. The Rebbe accepted the tambourine saying
that he would give it to Moshiach when he comes. The Rebbe later gave the
tambourine to Yudel.
The Rebbe said countless times that Moshiach would come in dor shevi'i; Yudel is dor shevi'i to the mittler Rebbe. Based on the Rebbe's repeated prophecy, Yudel must
be Moshiach.
In Sefer ha-Sichos 5749 vol. 1, page 123, footnote 97, the
Rebbe wrote: "And since according to all the simonim the time of the redemption has arrived it must be concluded
that Moshiach has already been born." At the time this was written Yudel
had already been born; there can be no doubt that the Rebbe is referring to
him.
In Likutei Sichos vol. 26, p. 7, the Rebbe writes that the neshomo of Moshe Rabbeinu is incarnated
in the "chachmei ha-dor einei
ho-eido" in each generation, clearly referring to the board of Agudas
Chasidei Chabad, the "sages of the age eyes of the community" set up
by the Rebbe to guide Lubavitch. Its leader, Yudel, is the ultimate
manifestation of this soul, as the Rebbe continues, "...and specifically
in the nesi ha-dor, as 'ein dor she-ein bo ke-moshe' ('there is
no generation without a Moshe figure'), there must be a 'Moshe' in every generation in whom the soul of Moshe is
incarnated." Here the Rebbe emphatically shows that Yudel is the Nosi and Moshe incarnate of the
generation, and it is well known that just as Moshe was the initial redeemer so
too Moshe's incarnate will be the final redeemer.
