The founder of Chabad Hasidism, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745-1812), passed away on the night of the 24th of Tevet, at approximately 10:30 PM, after reciting the Havdalah prayer, which marks the end of Shabbat. He is also known as the Alter Rebbe, author of the Shulchan Aruch and the Tanya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rebbe was in the village of Peyena, escaping from Napoleon's army which, three months earlier, had razed the Rebbe's village on its advance towards Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was 68 years old and was succeeded by his son, Rabbi DovBer of Lubavitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kabbalah explains that on the day a Tzaddik\u2014a righteous person\u2014passes away, all the spiritual work they did throughout their life is revealed more powerfully on Earth. That is why this is a special day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the customs practiced on the day of a Yahrzeit \u2013 anniversary of death \u2013 is the study of the chapters of the Mishnah that begin with the letters of the deceased's name, since the word Mishnah (which refers to the compendium of Jewish laws, compiled in the year 200 CE by Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi) has the same letters as the word Neshamah \u2013 soul, indicating that its study has a positive effect directly related to the soul of the Jew.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The founder of Chabad Hasidism, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745-1812), passed away on the night of the 24th of Tevet, at approximately 10:30 PM, after reciting the Havdalah prayer, which marks the end of Shabbat.
