Rebbetzin Beila Wols

Rebbetzin Beila was born to her parents, the Mitteler Rebbe and Rebbetzin Sheina.

She married the chassid Rabbi Yekusiel Zalman Vols, the son of Rabbi Yosef Bunim, who was a son-in-law of the holy Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdychiv.

In recent years, the gravestone of her husband, Rabbi Yekusiel Zalman, was discovered in the Lubavitch cemetery.

Family

• Her daughter, Mrs. Freida, married the Rebbe Rabbi Yisroel Noach Schneersohn of Niezhin, a son of the Tzemach Tzedek.
• Her son, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Zalmanson, married Rebbetzin Devorah Leah, a daughter of the Tzemach Tzedek, thus becoming his son-in-law.
• Her son, Rabbi Shneur Zalmanson, was named after the Alter Rebbe.

The Vols family thus became connected by marriage to the family of the Tzemach Tzedek on two separate occasions.

• Her daughter, Mrs. Kayla, was the mother of Hinda Gurvitz, in whose estate a copy of a portrait of the Tzemach Tzedek was found — as well as a portrait of Miriam Sheinkin, the wife of Menachem Sheinkin, a prominent activist in early Jewish immigration to the Land of Israel and a leading Zionist figure.

Menachem Sheinkin was a descendant (through a third marriage) of Rabbi Avraham Sheines, a son-in-law of the Alter Rebbe. His family was counted among the distinguished Chassidim of Kapust.
