Wedding[edit | edit source]
Rebbetzin Sarah married Rav Eliezer DerBaremDiker, son of Rabbi Meir of Berditchev (author of Kesser Torah) who was the son of the holy Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev.
In the summer of 1804, the tenaim (engagement) was arranged between her and the chosson (groom) Rav Eliezer Derbaremdiker, son of Rabbi Meir Derbaremdiker (author of Kesser Torah) who was the son of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev. On Shabbos Parshas Nasso in 1807, the wedding took place in the town of Zhelobin. The grandfathers - the Alter Rebbe and Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev - participated in the wedding, which became known as "The Great Wedding in Zhelobin." This was the first wedding between a grandchild of the Alter Rebbe and Rabbi Levi Yitzchak.
When Mrs. Sarah gave birth to her daughter, she passed away. The daughter was named Sarah after her mother. The exact date of her passing was unknown. In 2014, during renovations of the cemetery in the town of Berditchev, her gravestone was discovered, on which appears the date of 27 Adar. According to estimates, this was in 1809.
In 1811, another daughter was born to the Mitteler Rebbe who was named Sarah after her.
