Editing Mordechai of Chernobyl (section)

== The Shidduch with the Mitteler Rebbe ==
One of the elder chassidim would speak of him with tremendous reverence, relating that [[the Alter Rebbe]] said about him: "Er iz a eidele yungerman" (he is a refined young man).

Reb Yitzchak Horowitz related that the Maggid of Mezritch once told his talmidim that Moshiach would come either from the descendants of his eldest talmid (Rabbi Menachem Nachum of Chernobyl) or from his youngest talmid (the Alter Rebbe). Subsequently, a shidduch was arranged when [[Rabbi Yaakov Yisroel Twersky of Cherkas|Rabbi Yaakov Yisroel of Cherkas]], grandson of Rabbi Mordechai, married the daughter of [[the Mitteler Rebbe]], son of the Alter Rebbe.

From this union descends part of the Chabad dynasty: 1. Rabbi Yaakov Yisroel and Rebbetzin Devorah Leah. 2. Rebbetzin Chana who married [[Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn (Son of the Tzemach Tzedek)|Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn]] (son of [[the Tzemach Tzedek]]). 3. Their daughter who married [[the Rebbe Rashab]] and was the mother of [[The Rebbe Rayatz|the Frierdiker Rebbe]].
