Editing Levi Yitzchak Schneerson (section)

== Marriage ==
When Rabbi Levi Yitzchak reached marriageable age, the Rebbe Rashab suggested the match between him and Rebbetzin Chana, who was the daughter of Rabbi Meir Shlomo Yanovsky, Rabbi of Nikolayev. The wedding date was set for the Thursday after Shavuot, but due to the bride's illness, her father wanted to postpone the wedding. The bride's father Rabbi Meir Shlomo Yanovsky sent a special messenger to the Rebbe Rashab to get his consent to postpone the wedding, but the Rebbe instructed to hold the wedding as scheduled and gave his blessing. The wedding took place on Friday, 11 Sivan 5660 (1900) in Nikolayev at the home of a wealthy Jew named Brishkovsky.

In her memoirs, Rebbetzin Chana noted 11 Sivan as their wedding date three times.

After the wedding, the Rebbe Rashab sent a letter of blessing to the groom's father Rabbi Baruch Shneur Schneerson, in addition to the telegram he sent on the wedding day itself.

Rabbi Levi Yitzchak was supported by his father-in-law Rabbi Meir Shlomo Yanovsky, Rabbi of Nikolayev, for 10 years until 5669 (1909), and sat and studied Torah day and night.

From 1902, he participated in public assemblies where activities for Russian Jewry were formulated. Some of these assemblies were organized by the Rebbe Rashab. During the Russo-Japanese War, he took a major part in sending matzos to Jewish soldiers on the battlefield, as well as in collecting material for Beilis's defense in the famous trial.
