Rabbi Yaakov Zechariah HaLevi of Skalik | Rabbi '''Yaakov Zechariah HaLevi of Skalik''' known as Reb Yankl Zhuravitcher (Simchat Torah 5646/1885 - 5698/1938), was among the great Chassidim in the Soviet Union. He was from the first group that studied in Tomchei Tmimim in Lubavitch and was known for his tremendous ahavas Yisroel (love for fellow Jews). He served for a period as the secretary of the Rebbe Rayatz and was one of the ten who took an oath with the Rebbe Rayatz, pledging to sacrifice their lives "to the last drop of blood" for the preservation of Judaism in Russia. After the Rebbe Rayatz left Russia, he became responsible for most of the Jewish activities in the country. He was arrested in 5695/1935, exiled, and disappeared, with evidence suggesting he was killed. | ||
