Editing Lubavitch (section)

==== Period of [[the Rebbe Rayatz]] ====
The Rebbe Rayatz was born on 12 Tammuz 5640 (1880) in Lubavitch. In the summer of 5653 (1893), his bar mitzvah was held in the Rebbe's courtyard in Lubavitch, and in late 5657 (1897), his wedding took place there. When Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim opened, he was appointed as the yeshiva's director. After his wedding, they built another room in his father's house for his residence. Later, he moved to another house in the Rebbe's courtyard.

In early Nissan 5681 (1921), after the Rebbe and yeshiva students left Lubavitch, some anash who still lived in Lubavitch transferred the shul to the stone house. The mikvah building was destroyed, and in early 5682 (1921), the Rebbe Rayatz sent them money to repair the mikvah.

On Erev Rosh Chodesh Elul of that year (5682), the Rebbe Rayatz traveled to Lubavitch to pray at the holy ohel. While there, he delivered a maamar chassidus in the shul in the stone house. This was the only time he visited Lubavitch after accepting the nesius. During the period when the courtyard was destroyed, the ohel was also destroyed. The beis midrash connected to the ohel was also destroyed and the non-Jews stole the fence walls. In 5684 (1924), the Rebbe Rayatz tried to repair the ohel, but the general situation continued to worsen over the years.

The village shul was closed by the Communists in mid-winter of 5696.
