Rebbetzin Rivkah Schneersohn, mother of Rebbe Rashab and grandmother of Rebbe Rayatz of Lubavitch. Born in 1833 to Rebbetzin Sarah, daughter of the Mitteler Rebbe of Lubavitch and to R. Aharon Alexander of Shklow. She was orphaned of both her parents at a young age, and was raised by her grandmother, Rebbetzin Sheina, wife of the Mitteler Rebbe (he himself passed away before she was born, in 1828). In 1849 she married Rebbe Maharash. After the wedding, Rebbetzin Rivkah assisted her husband in all communal matters. She was responsible for the finances of the rebbe's court, and was in charge of distributing the Maamad funds (charity given by Chassidim to support the rebbe's court). She was also very active in supporting the students of the Tomchei Temimim yeshiva in Lubavitch. She supervised the boys' eating and sleeping arrangements, inquired about their wellbeing and made sure they could study diligently without material worries. She was known as a "Baalat Shemuah" and was the source of many stories on the history of the Chabad Chassidut and its rebbes. Her grandson Rebbe Rayatz would visit her regularly to hear her stories, as instructed by his father Rebbe Rashab. Many of these stories were later published in the books of the Rayatz – Sefer HaZichronot, Likutei Diburim, Sefer HaSichot, and others.
Her father-in-law, the Tzemach Tzedek blessed her with longevity, and Rebbetzin Rivkah indeed lived to the ripe old age of eighty, passing away on Erev Shabbat 10th Shevat 1914. She was buried in Lubavitch, close to the gravesite of her father-in-law the Tzemach Tzedek and her husband the Maharash. In a letter to his daughter-in-law and grandsons, her son the Rashab wrote: "There are no words sufficient to describe our great loss. A great and holy light was removed from our home… I am consoled only by the clear knowledge that she is still with us now, and wherever we are, she is there with us" (Igrot Kodesh of Rebbe Rashab, part II p. 781). The Beit Rivkah network of educational institutions were established in her memory.


Rebbetzin Shterna Sarah Schneersohn, wife of Rebbe Rashab and mother of Rebbe Rayatz. Born in 1860 to Rebbe Yosef Yitzchak of Ovruch, son of the Tzemach Tzedek. Her mother was the daughter of R. Yaakov Yisrael of Cherkasy, son-in-law of the Mitteler Rebbe. In 1865, she became engaged to the Rashab. The betrothal was celebrated in the home of the Tzemach Tzedek (the groom and bride were both five years old). The couple were wed ten years later, in 1875. She stood beside her husband and assisted him in all communal matters. She was very active in supporting the Tomchei Temimim yeshiva, and established an international women's organization in support of the students of the boys' schools of Lubavitch. In 1940, she escaped occupied Warsaw to the United States together with her only son Rebbe Rayatz. She passed away on 13th Shevat 1942, and was buried in New York. The Beit Sarah network of girls' schools was named after her.
