21 of Shvat - On this day the Rebbetzin Devorah, step sister of Tzemach Tzedek passed away.

00:00 You make Chabad for the 21st day of Shabbat, and it says a question mark. Maybe it's not definite that that is actually the day. No, it seems like it is definitely the 21st day of Shabbat, but they don't know which year. They're not sure which year, so they don't have a year here. They just have the date of the month. And that was the day that the Rebetzin Devorah, now Devorah was a sister, shared the same father with the Tzemach Tzedek, Rav Shalom Shachna. As you remember that we read earlier, Rav Shalom Shachna was the father of the Tzemach Tzedek. He married the daughter of the Altar Rebbe. He married the daughter Devorah Leah. Rav Shalom Shachna was also the one that actually printed. He had a printing press, and they actually printed some of the Hasidic books at the time. And the wife, Rav Shalom Shachna's wife, the daughter of the Altar Rebbe, she passed away at a very young age. We learned that. And her husband was left a widower, Rav Shalom Shachna. So the Altar Rebbe later on suggested, and he married, I think it said the Altar Rebbe suggested, I'm not sure about that. But then he married for a second time, he married the daughter of Rav Aharon HaGodol, Rav Aharon Karlina, you know, the Rebbe, Rav Aharon, or the Karlina Rebbe. His daughter, Rivka. And then they had two daughters. So Rav Shalom Shachna, the Tzemach Tzedek's father, after the Tzemach Tzedek's mother's passing, he married another woman. And

02:09 he married her. One of the daughters that was, so they were stepsisters. She was Devorah. One of the daughters was Devorah. They were stepsisters of the Tzemach Tzedek. They shared one father, and they had a different mother. And it is also related that the Rebetzin Devorah, I'm just assuming, why was she called Devorah? Maybe he was named after his late wife, his other wife. That would seem a little Her name was Devorah Leah. And this one was named Devorah. So I'm not sure. This was the daughter of his So I'm not sure. But she died, it says here. She passed away while she was very young. And she left a young daughter. She left this Rebetzin Devorah. And then her brother, which is from one father, which means the Tzemach Tzedek, he raised that, his stepsister's, I guess, daughter. He raised her in his house. And then he married her off to whoever. It doesn't say here the details, what exactly took place then.
