Editing Rebbetzin Rivka (mother of the Alter Rebbe) (section)

== Her Wedding ==
Although the chuppah took place on Friday, the 17th of Elul, Erev Shabbos Kodesh, Parshas Ki Savo 1743, the wedding date is considered to be the 18th of Elul.

This is because it was one of the conditions that Rav Baruch made with his father-in-law, that the wedding date should be on the 18th of Elul. However, since that year the 18th of Elul fell on Shabbos, Rav Baruch initially set the chuppah for Motzei Shabbos Kodesh. Only a few weeks before the wedding did Rav Baruch inform his father-in-law of his agreement to have the chuppah on Friday, the 17th of Elul.

In commemoration of this, most wedding dates of Chabad Rebbeim were set for Friday.
