Rosa-Freyda Zalmanovna Schneerson
Forgotten Alter Rebbe's Einiklach
I am trying to understand the fate of Schneersons as a proxy to the fate of Russian Jews. This one Rosa-Freyda Zalmanovna Schneerson, Doctor and author of the books on psychology. She was born January 23, 1886.
In fact, her sister and brother were also doctors, Isroel-Neukh Zalmanovich Schneerson and Sheyna Estra Schneerson. Someone who has the account at Heritage, there seem to be a family tree of their father Boruch Shneerovich Schneerson who was born in Lubavitch in 1842. The name Isroel-Neukh would point to Nezhiner line.
Note:
Originally, there was an illustration here, that book belongs to Fishel Zalmanovich Schneerson, not Freyda Zalmanovna Schneerson.
The concept that Chabad was the sole answer to the troubles of world Jewry started after 1927.
Clearly Rashab cooperated with other rabbis in Czarist Russia
RMMS decided that it was a no brainer positing Chabad as the sole repository of authentic Judaism enabled him to strengthen his own troops and send his boys and ladies out to spread the good news with him in mind.
On the other hand most of Orthodox Jewry failed the moment.
In 1990 YU,Fakewood,other Chasidic groups should have set up outposts in Russia.
Stolin is the only group that answered the call.
Yes no one gives a d... It's all about money.
Individuals have gone but where is YU? WHERE is Bar Ilan ?
Proxy ?
None of us know the trajectory of Russian Jews if Kerensky had retained control.
Most probably would be very akin to US Jewry.
Strong Zionist element 1918-1980 intermarriage and a moderately successful yeshiva world in northern region.
Clearly Chabad had a market appeal and there would be some Chasidic communities.
By and large Russian Jews would be highly educated,well integrated and intermarried.
Hence Schneerson family were to be no exception
The present day tragedy of post Soviet Russian Jews is failure to have a modern Orthodox and right wing Conservative Jew communities
Just imagine US Jewry with Satmar Lakewood and Chabad on one side and Temple Emanuel on the other.No YU no Young Israel,no OU no Orthodox academics,nohigh schools like Maimonides ,Ramaz,Crown etc no camps,nothing except assimilation and baby machines.
