Biographical History

Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn (1880-1950) was an orthodox rabbi and the sixth rebbe of the Chabad Lubavitch Hasidic movement. After many years of fighting to keep Orthodox Judaism alive from within the Soviet Union he was forced to leave; he continued to conduct the struggle from Latvia, and then Poland, and eventually the United States, where he spent the last ten years of his life.
