Rabbi Yaakov Schneersohn (after 1822[1] – 1837) was the sixth son of the Tzemach Tzedek (Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, the third Rebbe of Chabad).
He was born between Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of Ovruch and the Maharash,[2] and was named after the melamed (Torah teacher) Rabbi Yaakov Minavitch, father of Rebbetzin Sheina, wife of the Mitteler Rebbe.
On Shabbos, Parshas Behaalosecha, in the month of Sivan 1835, he married Freida, daughter of Rabbi Boruch Klotzker — a grandson of the Alter Rebbe through Rebbetzin Freida, the Alter Rebbe's daughter — who was then living in Orsha. After their wedding Rabbi Yaakov settled near his father-in-law and became known as "Yaakov of Orsha."[3]
He subsequently traveled to Tulchin, where he became gravely ill. When Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka went to her husband and said, "You pray for the whole world — have you not prayed for your own son?", the Tzemach Tzedek replied: "G-d concealed this from me and did not tell me — and a prisoner cannot free himself from prison."[4][5][6]
Rabbi Yaakov passed away in Tulchin in 1837 (approximately).[7] He was survived by his son, Rabbi Shneur Schneersohn.
- ↑ His exact birth year is unknown. The only information available is from Reshimos, booklet 175, which states that he was born between his brothers Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of Ovruch and the Maharash (Rabbi Shmuel Schneersohn, the fourth Rebbe of Chabad). Since the former was born in 1822 and the Maharash was born in 1834, it is most likely that he was born sometime after 1822, and that he married at a young age.
- ↑ The Frierdiker Rebbe (Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, the sixth Rebbe of Chabad), Sichos Kayitz 5692 (Reshimas HaYoman, p. 247).
- ↑ It is worth noting the Rebbe's talk of 13 Tishrei 1979, in which the Rebbe refers to a sicha of the Frierdiker Rebbe stating that all the sons of the Tzemach Tzedek are referred to as Rebbe except for R' Yaakov, and the reason given is "for whatever reason that is known to him" (Sichos Kodesh 5740, vol. 1, p. 133).
- ↑ Talmud Bavli, Berachos 5b.
- ↑ Likkutei Sipurim (Perlov edition, 1992), p. 129.
- ↑ The book Lishmo'a Ozen (Tzemach Tzedek section, story 15) by Rabbi Shneur Zalman Duchman records that "G-d concealed this from me" was said by the Tzemach Tzedek regarding a different son who passed away, one named Yerachmiel, while "a prisoner cannot free himself" was said regarding Rabbi Yaakov. However, this son named Yerachmiel does not appear in any other source.
- ↑ In Heichal HaBesht, vol. 15, p. 115, Rabbi Amram Bloy brings proof for this year from a manuscript (Moscow 201) of the chassidic discourse beginning Eicha Yashva Vadad. At the opening of the manuscript appears the heading: "This discourse was said by our Rebbe [the Tzemach Tzedek] to R' Hillel of Paritch when R' Hillel came to console him on the passing of his son Mohorar Yaakov." Rabbi Bloy concludes that this is the discourse cited in Or HaTorah, Nach, p. 34, where it is dated to the year 1837.
