Lubavitch: Difference between revisions

Lubavitch became associated with Chabad during the time of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of the movement. Although the Alter Rebbe himself never lived in Lubavitch, his teachings and leadership paved the way for the town to later become the center of Chabad.

Rabbi Dovber Schneuri, the second Rebbe of Chabad, moved to Lubavitch in 1813. He established the town as the movement's headquarters and oversaw the construction of institutions to promote Hasidic study and life. His leadership attracted a growing number of Hasidim to the town.
