Shmuel Schneersohn (or Rabbi Shmuel or Maharash) (1834-04-29–1882-09-14 OS) was an Orthodox rabbi and the fourth Rebbe (spiritual leader) of the Chabad Lubavitch chasidic movement. He was also known as the Rebbe MaHaRaSh.
Biography
The Maharash was born in Lubavitch, on 2 Iyyar 5594, the seventh son of the Tzemach Tzedek.
During his years of leadership as "Rebbe" (1866-1882) he was instrumental in fighting Anti-semitic decrees and pogroms throughout Russia and beyond. For these purposes he traveled widely to places such as Petersburg, Kiev, France and Germany, doing all he could to improve the lot of his persecuted co-religionists.
He died in Lubavitch, on 13 Tishri 5643.
