Editing Yaakov Schneerson

{{Beis HaRav}}
Reb '''Yaakov Schneersohn''' (after 5582/1822 – 5597/1837) was the '''sixth son of the Tzemach Tzedek'''.

He was born between [[Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn (Son of the Tzemach Tzedek)|Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn]] of Avrutch and [[the Rebbe Maharash]]. He was named after the teacher R' Yaakov Minavitch, the father of [[Rebbetzin Sheina|Rebbetzin Shaina]], wife of [[the Mitteler Rebbe]].

He married on Shabbat Parshat Behaalotcha, in the month of Sivan 5595/1835, Maras Freida, daughter of R' Baruch Klutzker (grandson of [[the Alter Rebbe]]), son of [[Rebbetzin Freida Kluzker|Rebbetzin Freida]], daughter of the Alter Rebbe who was then living in Orsha (and after his wedding, he lived near his father-in-law and therefore was called "Yaakov of Orsha").

Afterwards, he traveled to Tulchin, where he became very ill. When [[Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson (Wife of the Tzemach Tzedek)|Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka]] (wife of the Tzemach Tzedek) came to her husband, she said to him: "You pray for the entire world, only for your son you did not pray." He answered her, "Hashem concealed it from me and did not tell me, and a prisoner cannot free himself from prison."

R' Yaakov passed away in the city of Tulchin in the year 5597/1837 (apparently). He left behind his son, R' Shneur Schneersohn (grandson of the Admor the Tzemach Tzedek).
