REBBE LEVI YITZCHOK SCHNEERSON
The Gaon, Chossid and Mekubal Rabbi Levy Yitzchok
Schneerson was the Rav of Yektrinoslav and the father of the
Rebbe. Most of his writings from Yektrinoslav, in Nigla,
Chassidus and Kabalah have been lost.
The little that remains consists of what he wrote on margins of
the few books he had with him in exile (where he was banished
by the Communist government as punishment for his
involvement in spreading Judaism) in the years 1939-1944. A
number of letters he wrote to his son the Rebbe, may his merit
protect us, also remain.
By miraculous means the books with his father’s notes on the
margin have reached us, and the Rebbe published them
between 1970-1983.
From these the Exhibition presents:
144. Likutei Levy Yitzchok Al HaZohar, Kehot, 1970.
145. Likutei Levy Yitzchok Al HaTanya, Kehot, 1970.
146. Toras Levy Yitzchok Al HaShas, Kehot, 1971.
147. Toras Levy Yitzchok Hosafa, L’Yalkut Shimoni
U’Masechet Gitin, Kehot, 1979.
148. Toras Levy Yitzchok Hosofa, L’Tehillim U’L’Purim,
Kehot, 1933.
Also presented in the Exhibition:
149. Zohar, with Rabbi Levy Yitzchok’s handwritten notes
in the margin.
Due to lack of ink where he was exiled, his wife, Rebbitzin
Chana (who voluntarily joined him in exile), made ink of
different colors from plants she found. He used this ink for his
writing.
150. Explanation on Tehillim, in his handwriting.
151. Letter, in his handwriting.
152. Photograph, on the day of his arrest in 1939.
153. Photograph, after he was liberated from exile in 1944.
When the Rebbe saw this photo for the first time he was
surprised that the appearance of his father’s saintly face had
changed so drastically after five years of exile. He noted his
surprise by writing: "My father of blessed memory?"
187. Portrait, by E.K. Tifenbrun.
188. Portrait, after his liberation from exile, in the
summer of 1944.
