The split of Chabad Chassidus was a historical event that occurred between the years 5626-5683 (1866-1923) when Chabad Chassidus gradually divided into several branches. The split happened after the histalkus (passing) of the Rebbe Tzemach Tzedek in 5626 (1866) following a dispute over who would be his successor. Three of his sons (the Maharil, the RaChaShaZ, and the MaHaRIN) opened separate courts from Chabad-Lubavitch. The official successor of the Rebbe Tzemach Tzedek was his youngest son, the Rebbe Maharash, who served as Rebbe in Lubavitch, while simultaneously his three brothers served as Rebbes in the spirit of Chabad: Rabbi Yehuda Leib who was Rebbe in the town of Kopust, Rabbi Chaim Shneur Zalman who was Rebbe in the town of Lyadi, and Rabbi Yisrael Noach who was Rebbe in the town of Niezhin.

Over the years, most chassidim of these branches returned to Chabad-Lubavitch. The split ended in 5683 (1923), after the last Kopust Rebbe, Rabbi Shmarya Noach Schneersohn, who was Rebbe in the city of Bobruisk, passed away without a successor. After his histalkus, many Kopust chassidim returned to Lubavitch and accepted the leadership of the Rebbe Rayatz, while simultaneously some Kopust chassidim left Chabad or the path of chassidus altogether.
