== Early Life == Born in Vitebsk in 1764 to her father the Alter Rebbe and her mother Rebbetzin Sterna. The name Freida was given to her after her father's aunt, the sister of R' Shneur Zalman, the Alter Rebbe's grandfather. Rebbetzin Freida was very beloved by her father, the Alter Rebbe, and he would say Chassidic discourses to her every Shabbos after davening - things he wouldn't say to the Mitteler Rebbe. When her brother - the Mitteler Rebbe - wanted to clarify a concept in Chassidus, he would ask her to question their father, and he would hide and listen to the words, though the Alter Rebbe understood that his son had requested this clarification. ===The belt story=== Once, her brother, the Mitteler Rebbe, asked her to request from their father an explanation of the four priestly garments. When the Alter Rebbe came, she made the request and he agreed, speaking about three of the garments but not mentioning the avnet (belt). The Mitteler Rebbe, sensing his father would soon leave without discussing the avnet, removed his gartel and threw it at his sister's feet to remind her to ask about it. When Rebbetzin Freida saw the edge of the belt, she turned to her father to ask about it. The Alter Rebbe said to her: "It seems your brother Ber is hiding under your bed listening to the Torah and Chassidus that I tell you. Come out Berel! Come out!" and he did not continue further.
