Rebbetzin Sarah was the second daughter of the Mitteler Rebbe.
Not to be confused with her younger sister; see Chaya Sara Zaslavsky.
Her Wedding[edit | edit source]
Rebbetzin Sarah married Rabbi Eliezer Derbarmidiker, the son of Rabbi Meir of Berdychiv (author of Keser Torah), who was himself a son of the holy Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdychiv.
In the summer of 5564 (1804), the engagement (tena'im) between Sarah and her groom was formalized. The wedding itself took place on Shabbos of Parshas Naso, 5567 (June 1807), in the town of Zhlobin. Both grandfathers — the Alter Rebbe and Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdychiv — attended the celebration. The event became known as the Great Wedding in Zhlobin, and was the first marriage uniting a grandchild of the Alter Rebbe with a grandchild of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak.
Her Passing[edit | edit source]
Rebbetzin Sarah passed away in childbirth; the daughter born to her was named Sarah in her memory. Her precise date of passing was not known for many years. In 5774 (2013), during renovation work in the cemetery of the town of Berdychiv, her gravestone was discovered, bearing the date of the 27th of Adar. Based on scholarly analysis, this is believed to have occurred in the year 5569 (1809).[1]
In 5571 (1811), the Mitteler Rebbe and Rebbetzin were blessed with another daughter, who was also named Sarah in her memory.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ 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."
