Editing The Mitteler Rebbe (section)

== Imprisonment and Liberation ==
[Expanded entry - [[The Imprisonment and Liberation of the Mitteler Rebbe]]] In 5585, a Jew named Simcha Kissin submitted a denouncement to the authorities claiming that the Chassidic movement under the Mitteler Rebbe's leadership was a cult that entrapped thousands of chassidim to increase the Rebbe's wealth. This accusation was based on a forgery of the Mitteler Rebbe's letter and on the fundraising conducted to rebuild the court following the fire during the Alter Rebbe's time. As a result, the Mitteler Rebbe was arrested on Isru Chag Sukkos 5587. After investigations and examinations, the investigators realized that false accusations had been made against him, and on 10 Kislev 5587, he was released from imprisonment. This date was established for generations as a Holiday of Liberation (Chag HaGeulah).
