On the 19th of Kislev in 1798, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, was freed from his severe imprisonment in Petersburg, Russia.
Rabbi Schneur Zalman was arrested and persecuted for his efforts to strengthen the Chasidic movement and to disseminate its teachings. This book explores this noteworthy turning-point in the Chasidic movement, and its importance as a milestone in Jewish History.
