Editing Yehuda Leib Schneerson (Son of the Tzemach Tzedek) (section)

== Early Years ==
Born in Lyadi in 1808 (or according to another opinion in 1811) to his father the Tzemach Tzedek and mother Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka as their second son. Named after Reb Yehuda Leib.

The Alter Rebbe was his sandek at the bris. During the bris, the Maharil cried extensively. The Alter Rebbe commented that through crying the mind becomes refined and blessing is drawn from the level of ohr.

During the Alter Rebbe's escape from Napoleon with his family, the Alter Rebbe noticed the Maharil's absence (who was then an infant) and ordered to turn back to search for him. When they returned, they found him crying by the roadside, and the Alter Rebbe gathered him and returned him to the carriage.

On 14 Cheshvan 1825, he married the daughter of the chossid Reb Shlomo Freides of Shklov, a prominent Chabad chossid. In his second marriage, he married Sarah.
