The Alter Rebbe
1745–1812
Shneur Zalman of Liadi, 1745–1812, author of the Tanya and of his own Shulchan Aruch. He built a teaching in which feeling is derived from thought rather than the reverse — hence the name Chabad, from three words: wisdom, understanding, knowledge.

Non-Hebrew names are written in Hebrew letters by ordinary transliteration; variants exist, and the number depends on the spelling. We show the letters so it can be checked. This is a coincidence of counting, not a claim about fate. It is interesting exactly insofar as you can see how it was counted.
