Shmuel Schneersohn (or Rabbi Shmuel or Maharash) (1834–1882), was an Orthodox rabbi. He was the fourth Chabad Lubavitch Rebbe based in the town of Lubavitch in present-day Belarus. He was the son of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn who was the third Rebbe of Lubavitch. He was also known as the Maharash. Since 1940 the Chabad-Lubavitch movement has been based in Brooklyn, New York in the United States where it has trained thousands of young rabbis and sent them together with their wives and young families to staff positions in an array of yeshivas (Torah schools), synagogues, and educational outreach centers known as "Chabad Houses".
