== During Napoleon's War == During Napoleon's war and invasion of Russia in 1812, the Alter Rebbe traveled deep into Russia. Rabbi Moshe and his family did not join the journey, and they settled in the city of Druyya where the French army was encamped. Due to his fluency in French, Rabbi Moshe befriended French army leaders and spied against them. When Rabbi Moshe tried to reach Shklov, he was captured by the French army. He was accused of espionage and sentenced to death, but was eventually released. After the war, Rabbi Moshe returned with his family to the town of Ulla.
