Editing Reb Boruch Sholom Schneerson (section)

== Life History ==
Born on 22nd of Cheshvan 5566. He was named after Rabbi Baruch (father of the Alter Rebbe) and Rabbi Shalom Shachna, father of the Tzemach Tzedek.

The RaBaSH was missing fingers on his right hand. His father the Tzemach Tzedek discussed in his sefer which hand he should lay tefillin on - the hand he writes with - left, or the stronger hand - right.

The Alter Rebbe greatly cherished the RaBaSH, and at age six taught him dikduk, at age seven taught him the trop (cantillation) of Tanach.

From the day the Alter Rebbe traveled during Napoleon's war from Liadi until his passing on 24th of Teves 5573, the RaBaSH was with him. He sat together with him in the carriage and slept in his room. The RaBaSH related that he merited to be in the Alter Rebbe's presence for one hundred forty-two days and nights.

Later he was close to the Mitteler Rebbe and the Tzemach Tzedek. He traveled throughout Russia on his father's shlichus; he had many admirers, and would regularly say maamarei Chassidus.

After the passing of the Tzemach Tzedek in 5626 he remained - unlike his other brothers - in Lubavitch and became a chassid of his youngest brother - the Rebbe Maharash.

On 16th of Shevat 5629 he passed away after a brief illness, and his resting place is in the Ohel of the Tzemach Tzedek and Rebbe Maharash in Lubavitch.
