St. Petersburg: Then and Now

by Mordechai Lightstone – Lubavitch.com

Interior of S. Petersburg’s Grand Choral Synagogue.

Monday, December 3, corresponding this year to 19 Kislev, is marked by Jewish communities around the world in commemoration of the 214th anniversary of Chabad’s founder, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi’s liberation from Czarist imprisonment. Known by the Hebrew dates, 19 Kislev, the day has since been celebrated as the Rosh Hashana—the New Year of Chasidic thought, and the start of a new epoch in the study of Jewish mysticism.
