| Devorah Leah was born in [[5615|1855]] in Lubavitch, the eldest daughter of the [[Maharash|Rebbe Maharash]].<ref>''Reshimos Admur Shlita'', p. 331.</ref> Her father once remarked of her: "Devorah Leah, you have a good head."<ref>''Sefer HaSichos 5700'', p. 71. Also cited in ''Toras Menachem'', vol. 36, p. 313; vol. 43, p. 201.</ref>

| Although it is not the Chabad custom to hide or "steal" the [[afikomen]] at the Passover Seder, the [[Frierdiker Rebbe]] (the Previous Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn) once recalled how Devorah Leah, as a young child, made an exception — she snatched the afikomen and received a pearl necklace in return.<ref>''Reshimos Admur Shlita'', p. 373. ''Haggadah shel Pesach im Likkutei Taamim u'Minhagim'', p. 11.</ref>

| The [[Rebbe]] (Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson) related at a farbrengen (chassidic gathering) that upon learning of her father's passing, Devorah Leah turned to face the wall and stood that way for three full days, unaware of everything around her, not uttering a sound — or, in another version of the story, no sound was heard from her.<ref>Farbrengen, 13 Tishrei 5712 (1951).</ref> The Rebbe also told that as a young child, whenever she was given something to calm her crying, she would say that she had not stopped — she was only taking a break.<ref>''Toras Menachem'', vol. 7, p. 120.</ref>

| On [[8 Sivan|the 8th of Sivan]], [[5632|1872]], she married Rabbi [[Moshe Aryeh Leib Ginzburg]], and the couple settled in [[Vitebsk]], where they lived for the rest of their lives. In the month of [[Menachem Av]] [[5653|1893]], the [[Rebbe Rashab]] (Rabbi Shalom Dovber Schneersohn, the fifth Rebbe of Chabad) stayed as a guest in their home for approximately two weeks.<ref>''Igros Kodesh'' of the Frierdiker Rebbe, vol. 3, p. 409. See also ''Sefer HaSichos 5696'', p. 57.</ref>

| Rebbetzin Devorah Leah passed away in Vitebsk in [[5684|1924]]. She was buried with great honor: the local Anash (Chabad chassidim) and the Chevra Kadisha (Jewish burial society) insisted on carrying her coffin on their shoulders rather than transporting it by wagon. This was recounted by her granddaughter Zinaida Kushner to her daughter Galina Yakovov (daughter of Sheina).
