Liberation of R. Schneur Zalman of Liadi (1798)

On the 19th of Kislev of the year 5559 from creation (1798), Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi -- the founder of Chabad Chassidism -- was released from his imprisonment in the Peter-Paul fortress in Petersburg, where he was held for 53 days on charges that his teachings threatened the imperial authority of the Czar. More than a personal liberation, this was a watershed event in the history of Chassidism heralding a new era in the revelation of the "inner soul" of Torah, and is celebrated to this day as "The Rosh Hashanah of Chassidism."

14 Kislev - The Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Wedding, 1929

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902–1994) was the towering Jewish leader of the 20th century, known as “the Lubavitcher Rebbe,” or simply as “the Rebbe.” Born in southern Ukraine, the Rebbe married Chaya Mushka, the daughter of the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, in 1929 in Warsaw, thus facilitating his future ascension to the leadership of the Chabad movement. Escaping Nazi-occupied France, the Rebbe and his wife arrived in the United States in 1941, where eventually he inspired a worldwide revival of traditional Judaism.
