RABBI LEVI YITZCHOK AROUND THE YEAR
An amazing Jew lived in Yekaterinoslav and his name was Rabbi Levi Yitzchok Schneersohn zt”l. A Gaon, Chassid and Mekubal. He had many practices that were rooted in Chassidus and Kabbala. On top of that, his conduct was wondrous, lofty, and filled with chayus and enthusiasm. To mark his passing on Chaf Av, we present this compilation of the cycle of the year. We were helped by the various times that the Rebbe referred to his father’s customs, the memoirs of Rebbetzin Chana a”h, and testimony from Chassidim. * A sampling of customs, practices and personal conduct, on Shabbos and holidays.
