R’ Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson, the Frierdiker Rebbe (Previous Rebbe), was born on 12 Tammuz 5640 (1880). The sixth Rebbe of Chabad began his leadership in the burgeoning horrors of the Communist Soviet Union. A beautifully poetic writer and piercing presence, the Frierdiker Rebbe dedicated his life to combating Soviet Jewish persecution, establishing a clandestine Jewish underground throughout the vast reaches of Russia and her satellite states.
