Seeking info on one Pinchas Schneersohn, last of Berditchev






































Received via e-mail:

I am trying to identify Pinchas Schneerson. In the attached photo R-L Chaya Ita Twersky, daughter of Admur Shlomo Benzion of Chernobyl. She married her mother's brother Yehoshua Elazar Chodorov son of Zalman Chodorov of Berdichev;  Sarah Chodorov daughter of Zalman Chodorov Admur of Berdichev - Married a Schneersohn, Pinchas Scheersohn - was he the husband of Sarah Chodorov? Who was his father? He was from Retchica (Belorussia - white russia) - Killed by the Fascists with wife and 3 daughters in Berdichev. עד כאן

I was thinking this was Pinchas Schneersohn, son Yehuda Leib, son of the Retchitcher Rebbe, Reb Sholom Ber, son of Reb Yehuda Leib of Kopust, son of the Tzemach Tzedek. But that Pinchas died in the Holy Land, and it didn't seem like he had three daughters. There also does NOT seem to be such a Pinchas in the ספר הצאצאים - which is the source for all things Schneersohn. But then again, the letter is from a cousin who would know about this.

See letter below. Any and all would be greatly appreciated. You can email me at neveler@gmail.com

The famous Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twersky of Pittsburgh and his son Dr. Ben tzion Twersky Brooklyn, they are both very knowledgeably of their famous ancestors, if you can contact them I'm sure they can help .

I tried to concetrate on who is who and who he is not, and it created a mushroom like effect in my brain so i degressed, but I'm sure the Holocaust Museums worldwide have already instituted face recognition technology identifying photos with names of the perished, or by DNA, If not it maybe time for some fund raising perhaps.

Retchica rhymes with רציצה

all this families,
Bobov, Satmar,Chodorov,Chebiner, Milwaukee Denver have no real relationship with the Alte Rebbe
they are against learning chasidus, they dont follow the nusach, the takunass, the pillars of the alte rebbe does not talk
the alte rebbe is only good for them, for their chasuna invitation to look longer....and some long stories of the AR with no chabad taste.....
Its all the opposite what they alte rebbe stood for...
they are good jews, I am not debating that chas veshulem,
The Alte Rebbe told rebbe reb burechel,
you are a physical grandson, but I am the spiritual einikel..
the Alte Rebbe was kuloi ruchnius, kuloi chasidus, a young bucherel learns a piece of tanya and a piece of biur of reshab in chasidus, is in tune with the Alte Rebbe vs. the phisycal einiklech who were anti all what the alte rebbe stands for
the Tzemach Tzedek is writing in his letter to his son who married in to chernobel......

Oh Wow.

The alte rebbe said this, the neia rebbe said that,
and you are saying what--👂

Thirdoff: "and a piece of biur of reshab in chasidus".

Spiritual einekel, can we have a spiritual biur on the reshab's opinion on the following:

ה'מהרש"ב ז"ל היה הראשון שהשתמש עם השלוש השבועות כטיעון נגד הציונות, "ומכאן ואילך החל טיעון זה להיות רווח כארגומנט אנטי־ציוני מובהק בקרב החרדים במזרח אירופה". הוא חשש כי מטרת הציונות היא להחליף את המסורת היהודית כיסוד והעיקר של עם ישראל ב"לאומיות". -רש"ב, אגרות קודש א, עמ' רו
