Shlomo Schneur Zalman Schneersohn (1830 – 1900) was a Ukrainian Habad Hasidic rabbi who was the second leader of Kopust Hasidism from 1866 to his death in 1900.[1]
He was the son of Yehuda Leib Schneersohn, who founded the Kopust dynasty and was a grandson of the Menachem Mendel Schneersohn (the third Chabad Rebbe). He succeeded his father immediately following his death in 1866. He is the author of the 1902 text Magen Avot.[2] [3] He had a son Yehuda Leib.
Shlomo Zalman Schneersohn placed a portrait of his grandfather in his courtyard for his followers to see. The move is understood to help lend legitimacy to the Kapust branch of Chabad Hasidism.[4]
