Miriam Gittel Schneerson (5642-19 Kislev 5701, 1882-1940) was the aunt of the Rebbe (the youngest daughter of Rabbi Meir Shlomo Yanovsky, Rabbi of Nikolayev, the younger sister, and also sister-in-law, of Rebbetzin Chana, the Rebbe's mother).
Life History[edit | edit source]
Mrs. Miriam Gittel, the youngest daughter of Rabbi Meir Shlomo Yanovsky, Rabbi of Nikolayev, married Rabbi Shmuel Schneersohn, the younger brother of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak, the Rebbe's father, on the 1st of Elul 5671. He was later appointed as the official rabbi of the city of Nikolayev.
On the 28th of Elul 5676, her only son, R' Menachem Mendel Schneerson, was born.
In her early fifties, Rebbetzin Miriam Gittel passed away in Nikolayev after a serious illness on the 19th of Kislev 5701, during the lifetime of her mother, Rebbetzin Rachel Yanovsky, the Rebbe's grandmother.
On the yahrzeit, 19th Kislev every year, the Rebbe recites Kaddish for her.
The Rebbe noted the date of her yahrzeit several times, including in the Rebbe's private calendar from 5707, where he marked the yahrzeit dates of family members, noting next to 19 Kislev: "Gittel".
About half a year after her passing, her husband Rabbi Shmuel Schneersohn was arrested by the authorities and sentenced on the 4th of Tammuz 5701 to three years of exile in the city of Tomsk in Siberia. After about a year and a half, in the month of Adar I 5703, he was released from his place of exile due to exhaustion and heart insufficiency. After his release, R' Shmuel came to the home of his son, Menachem Mendel, who lived at that time in the city of Cherdzau in Turkmenistan.
