Unknown Photograph of Rebbetzin Tzila Schneerson in Her Youth (Aunt of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, Sister-in-law of Rebbe Rayatz) – With Letter of Authenticity by Her Niece Rebbetzin Chana Gurary


Unknown photo of Rebbetzin Tzila Schneerson taken in her youth. Rebbetzin Tzila, wife of R. Ben Zion Schneerson – brother of Rebbetzin Nechama Dinah Schneerson, wife of Rebbe Rayatz, was the aunt of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka and of her husband Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitch Rebbe.
Oval photograph, mounted on card.
Letter of authenticity enclosed (handwritten note, in English), signed in Hebrew by Rebbetzin Chana Gurary (1899-1991), eldest daughter of Rebbe Rayatz: "I hereby gift... a photo of my aunt Tzila Schneerson. She was the wife of my mother's brother Benzion. Me and my sisters were very fond of her". The letter is dated November 12, 1989.


Rebbetzin Tzila Schneerson (ca. 1904-2005), daughter of R. Moshe Horowitz (descendent of the Shla), married Ben Zion Schneerson (1897-1977), great-grandson of the Tzemach Tzedek (son of R. Avraham Schneerson of Kishinev) in 1933. Her sister-in-law (her husband's sister) Rebbetzin Nechama Dinah Schneerson married Rebbe Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson, the Rebbe Rayatz of Lubavitch.
After WWII, R. Ben Zion and his wife Tzila lived in Romania. In 1956, they immigrated to Israel and settled in Tel Aviv. Towards Tishrei 1956, R. Ben Zion travelled to New York to visit his sister Rebbetzin Nechama Dinah, his nieces - the sisters Rebbetzin Chana and Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, and his nephews - the Rashag and the Lubavitcher Rebbe (the Rebbe and Rebbetzins Chana and Chaya Mushka greeted him at the airport and the Rebbe even carried his baggage). Throughout the years, R. Ben Zion and Rebbetzin Tzila kept close contact with Rebbetzin Nechama Dinah and with their nieces and nephews. After the passing of R. Ben Zion, on 16th Tevet 1976, the Lubavitcher Rebbe and his wife took care of Rebbetzin Tzila, speaking to her periodically by phone.
Rebbetzin Tzila passed away on 29th Kislev 2005, at the ripe age of close to 102 years. She was buried in the Chabad cemetery plot on the Mount of Olives (Har HaZeitim) in Jerusalem, next to her husband R. Ben Zion. The couple was childless. In honor of Rebbezin Tzila's first yahrzeit, the Lubavitch Women's Organization dedicated a Torah scroll in their memory.
