In 1864, the Ninth of Av fell on Thursday. | In 5624 (1864), the Ninth of Av fell on Thursday. Reb Hillel was in the city of Nikolayev and felt weak. After the fast, he asked: "Where were the rabbis?" (who did not forbid him from fasting) and requested to be quickly transported to the city of Kherson, as he had a custom not to begin traveling on Friday. Before midday on Friday, he arrived in Kherson, and on Shabbat, the 11th of Menachem Av 5624 (1864), he returned his soul to his Creator. He is buried in the city of Kherson. | ||
The Rebbe wrote the main chapters of his biography, which were printed at the beginning of his books - Pelach Harimon on the books of Bereishit and Shemot - published by [[Kehos|Kehot]]. | |||
