Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. The assessment of researcher Shalom Ber Levin: "It appears she passed away two years after the wedding, in 5569 — since in 5568, the 27th of Adar fell on Shabbos, and it would have been customary to note this on the stone, while 5570 was a leap year, and the stone reads simply '27th of Adar.' It therefore seems most likely that she passed away on Wednesday, the 27th of Adar 5569. Since she died during the lifetime of her father and grandfather the Alter Rebbe, no title of Admur was yet recorded on the Mitteler Rebbe's stone."
