Our Fellow Countryman: Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson

Co-written by Drs. Larysa Levechenko, Director of the State Archives of the Nikolayev Region, and Vladimir Shchukin, senior researcher and historian, this book presents the rich history of the Schneerson family, builders of Nikolayev’s Jewish community.

From the founding of the community by the Rebbe’s great-great-grandfather in 1850, through the leadership of Rabbi Meir Shlomo Yanovsky, the Rebbe’s maternal grandfather, to the lives of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, Rebbetzin Chana, and their prodigious sons, the authors weave a narrative drawn from abundant government documents.

This work sheds light on previously unknown details, such as the election of the Rebbe’s ancestors to community positions, their ties to an imperial Russian navy shipbuilder, and Rabbi Levi Yitzchak’s courageous leadership and defiance while imprisoned by the Bolsheviks.

Learn the compelling history of the Schneerson family and their unbreakable bond with the Jewish community of Nikolayev. This account includes records of the Rebbe’s ancestors and close relatives, portraying a story of resilience and heroism.
