Yat Kislev Resources

Historical background

The 19th day of Kislev, or Yat Kislev as it is commonly referred to, commemorates the redemption of the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Shne'ur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of the Chabad branch of Chassidut (1745-1812) from his captivity and trial at the hands of the Czarist government in Russia in 1798. Rabbi Shneuz Zalman was accused of treason by supporting the Ottoman government, which at that time controlled the Land of Israel.
