Slavita Vs. Kopust: The Mitteler Rebbe's Mediation

Following the passing of the Alter Rebbe, Reb Moshe Shapiro, rov of Slavita and head of the Slavita Press, began printing a new edition of the “Alter Rebbe’s Shas.” At the same time, another Chabad Chossid, Reb Yisroel Yaffee, began printing his own edition of the Talmud in Kopust. When a dispute broke out over printing rights, the two sides agreed to go to the Mitteler Rebbe to mediate their dispute.
