Shmaryahu Noah Schneersohn

Rabbi Shmaryahu Noah Schneersohn (1842-1924) was the fourth and last rebbe of Kopust, a branch of the Chabad Hasidic movement. Rabbi Shmaryahu Noah succeeded his brother, Rabbi Shalom Dovber Schneersohn as 4th leader of the group for a period of time after Rabbi Shalom Dovber died.[1] Other sources claim Rabbi Shmaryahu Noah succeeded his brother, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Schneersohn as leader of the group in the year 1900 after Rabbi Shlomo Zalman died.[2][3][4][5] Rabbi Shmaryahu Noah served as the Kopuster movement's rebbe in the town of Babruysk.[6] He was rav of the chasidim in Babruysk from 1872, and founded a yeshiva there in 1901.[7] He authored a two-volume work on Hasidism, titled "Shemen LaMaor" ("Light for the Luminary").[2][4][5]
