When Rabbi Levi Yitzchak reached marriageable age, the [[Rebbe Rashab]] — Rabbi Shalom DovBer Schneerson, the fifth Chabad Rebbe — personally proposed the match between him and [[Rebbetzin Chana]], the daughter of the distinguished Rabbi [[Meir Shlomo Yanovsky]], Rav of [[Nikolayev]]. The wedding was set for the Thursday following Shavuos, but when the bride fell ill, her father wished to postpone. He sent a special messenger to the Rebbe Rashab to request his consent for the delay — but the Rebbe instructed that the wedding proceed as scheduled, and he gave his blessing.
