Sh'lom dear Director Dr. Schulman and Academy Rabbis,
Binding oneself to a true Tzaddik is an essential part of the chassidic approach, I have following question:
If one prays at the grave of a Sage or sends a letter with some request or as an expression of gratitude at the grave of a particular departed Tzaddik, how should one correctly formulate his prayer in order to avoid possible mistakes, especially praying to the Tzaddik himself instead of to The One True G-d (Heaven forbid) nevertheless mentioning the hope that the Tzaddik intervene on his behalf?
Best regards
