'''Ester Miriam''' was a daughter of the [[Mitteler Rebbe]] who passed away during her father's lifetime, on 4 Tammuz 5579 (July 1819). She is buried in [[Lubavitch]].

	== Life ~~History~~ ==		==Life==
	For many years, ~~there was~~ no ~~known record of a~~ daughter by this name of the Mitteler Rebbe, and she ~~was~~ not mentioned in the ~~chain of lineage~~ at the ~~beginning~~ of ~~HaYom~~ Yom.		For many years, no daughter by this name was known to have belonged to the Mitteler Rebbe, and she is not mentioned in the genealogical record printed at the opening of the [[Hayom Yom]].

	== Discovery of Her Grave ==		===Discovery of Her Grave===
	In 5750 ~~(1990~~), ~~during~~ a ~~secret~~ mission from the Rebbe to restore and renovate the burial sites of ~~our Rebbeim~~, Rabbi Dovid Nachshon and R' Avi Taub ~~found Ester Miriam~~'s ~~gravestone in~~ the Lubavitch cemetery, in the ~~"Women's Ohel~~." At ~~that~~ time, ~~her gravestone~~ was ~~made of~~ tin ~~and inscribed with~~:		In 1990 (5750),<ref>[https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=16042&st=&pgnum=278 Maamarei Admur HaEmtzai — Kuntraisim, p. 276.]</ref> as part of a confidential mission from the [[Rebbe]] to restore and renovate the burial sites of the Chabad Rebbes, Rabbi [[Dovid Nachshon]] and Rabbi [[Avi Taub]] discovered, in the women's section of the Lubavitch cemetery, the grave marker of Ester Miriam. At the time, the marker was a simple tin plaque bearing the following inscription:

	~~This is the burial site of~~ the modest woman ~~the distinguished Mrs.~~ Ester Miriam of blessed memory, daughter of the ~~Rabbi~~, the Gaon Admur ~~DovBer~~, may he live who passed away ~~to eternal life~~ on ~~Sunday~~, 4th of the month of Tammuz ~~Year~~ 5579 May her soul be bound in the bond of eternal life		{{quote\|Here lies buried

	== Identity of Her Husband ==		==Identity of Her Husband==
	Rabbi Shalom ~~DovBer Levine suggested~~ that ~~Mrs.~~ Ester Miriam's husband was Rabbi Aharon of Kremenchug~~. Several~~ sources ~~indicate that~~ he was ~~the Mitteler Rebbe's~~ son-in-law~~, and~~ the ~~inscription on~~ her ~~gravestone reads~~ "the modest and distinguished ~~Mrs.~~ Ester Miriam," ~~which~~ suggests she was already married~~.

Rabbi [[Shalom Dovber Levin]] proposed that Ester Miriam's husband was Rabbi [[Aharon of Kremenchug]], noting that several sources suggest he was a son-in-law of the Mitteler Rebbe. The wording of her grave marker — "the modest and distinguished woman Ester Miriam" — suggests she was already married at the time of her passing in 5579. Under this theory, she would have been his second wife, and after her death in Tammuz 5579, he went on to marry Chaya, daughter of the holy Rabbi of Breslov, sometime between 5579 and 5582 (1819–1822).<ref>[https://chabadlibrary.org/books/arum/chabad-russia-czarit/4/1.htm History of Chabad in Czarist Russia.]</ref>

	However, it was ~~later proven~~ that Rabbi Aharon of Kremenchug was the second husband of ~~her~~ sister, Rebbetzin Chaya ~~Sarah~~.		However, it was subsequently established that Rabbi Aharon of Kremenchug was in fact the second husband of Ester Miriam's sister, [[Chaya Sara Alexandrov-Zaslavsky\|Rebbetzin Chaya Sara]].

	~~Additionally, from~~ the ~~inscription "modest" being~~ her ~~first title~~ on the ~~gravestone,~~ one ~~can deduce~~ that ~~because she~~ was ~~so modest,~~ she remained unknown.		It has also been noted that the first word used to describe her on the grave marker is "the modest one" (hatzenu'ah) — suggesting that her very modesty was the reason she remained unknown for so long.

Ester Miriam was the daughter of the Mitteler Rebbe who passed away during her father's lifetime, on 4th of Tammuz 5579 (1819). She rests in honor in Lubavitch.

== Life History ==
For many years, there was no known record of a daughter by this name of the Mitteler Rebbe, and she was not mentioned in the chain of lineage at the beginning of HaYom Yom.

== Discovery of Her Grave ==
In 5750 (1990), during a secret mission from the Rebbe to restore and renovate the burial sites of our Rebbeim, Rabbi Dovid Nachshon and R' Avi Taub found Ester Miriam's gravestone in the Lubavitch cemetery, in the "Women's Ohel." At that time, her gravestone was made of tin and inscribed with:

This is the burial site of the modest woman the distinguished Mrs. Ester Miriam of blessed memory, daughter of the Rabbi, the Gaon Admur DovBer, may he live who passed away to eternal life on Sunday, 4th of the month of Tammuz Year 5579 May her soul be bound in the bond of eternal life

== Identity of Her Husband ==
Rabbi Shalom DovBer Levine suggested that Mrs. Ester Miriam's husband was Rabbi Aharon of Kremenchug. Several sources indicate that he was the Mitteler Rebbe's son-in-law, and the inscription on her gravestone reads "the modest and distinguished Mrs. Ester Miriam," which suggests she was already married. She passed away in 5579 (1819). The hypothesis was that she was his second wife, and after she passed away in Tammuz 5579 (1819), he married Mrs. Chaya, daughter of the holy Rabbi of Breslov, between 5579-5582 (1819-1822).

However, it was later proven that Rabbi Aharon of Kremenchug was the second husband of her sister, Rebbetzin Chaya Sarah.

Additionally, from the inscription "modest" being her first title on the gravestone, one can deduce that because she was so modest, she remained unknown.
