Editing Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk (section)

== After His Passing ==
After his passing in 1788, the Alter Rebbe sent a letter to the residents of the Holy Land "to comfort them doubly for the passing of the famous Gaon, the holy man of G-d..."

Rebbetzin Devorah Leah testified that her son, the Tzemach Tzedek, was the first to be named after Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk in the Rebbe's family.

The Tzemach Tzedek also praised him greatly, saying that "when speaking about Rabbi Mendele, many candles need to be lit, for he was a true tzaddik and a light of truth."
