By Rabbi Dr. Levi Cooper (Faculty) – THE TZEMACH TZEDEK acknowledged a letter that his son had sent him and warned his son “not to be stringent – Heaven forfend – at this time, by eating dairy products in the Nine Days.” Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn of Lubavitch (1789-1866), commonly known by the title of his scholarly writings in Jewish law – Tzemach Tzedek – married his first cousin Chaya Mushka (d. 1861). Together they had nine children – seven boys and two girls. Many of their sons and grandsons became Chabad Hassidic masters in various towns in what were then the Russian Empire: Kopys, Rechytsa, Babruysk, Lyady, Nizhyn, and Lyubavichi.
