Chabad is one of the central movements in Hasidism. It was founded by  Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, a disciple of magid Dov Behr from Mezhirich (now village Velyki Mezhirichi in Rovno region, Northern Ukraine). At a very early age, Schneur Zalman showed outstanding ability to study. In 1782 he settled in the small town of Liadi in the Mogilev province (now Belarus), where he became a magid, i.e. a preacher. The popularity of Schneur Zalman's ideas led to him being recognized as the head of the Hasidim of Belarus, and the number of his followers reached several thousand. His teaching aimed at intellectualizing Hasidism, when not only the feelings but also the mind and contemplative thinking were proclaimed as the source of faith. He outlined the basic ideas of his teaching in the work published in 1797 Likutei Amarim — Collected Sayings.

You can see portraits of members of the Hasidic Tzaddik dynasty of the Shneerson family at the bottom of the collage.

The descendants of Schneur Zalman continued and developed his teaching, writing many works on the philosophy of Hasidism, halachic issues, Kabbalistic studies. Nowadays Lubavitch Hasidism is one of the most intellectual and largest by the number of followers movement.

The upper part of the collage is dedicated to the father of the Seventh Lubavitch Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Shneerson. Here you can see photos of the Levi Yitzchak Shneerson’s family: himself, his wife and three-year-old Menachem Mendel.

Levi Yitzchak has been the chief rabbi of Yekatrinoslav-Dnepropetrovsk since 1909. In 1939 he was arrested by the NKVD for conducting "anti-Soviet" activities. The collage displays two documents. On the right is a copy of the arrest warrant for Levi Yitzchak. He was accused of active anti-Soviet agitation and financing of anti-Soviet activity. After several months of investigative work and interrogation at the NKVD, Levi Yitzchak Shneerson was exiled to Kazakhstan. On the left there is a document of 1992, about the transfer of criminal case files of Levi Yitzchak to his son, Seventh Lubavitch Rebbe Menachem Mendel Shneerson. In it, the National Security Service of Ukraine expressed its deepest sympathy for the tragedy that occurred with the Shneerson family.

The collage on the right is dedicated to Menachem Mendel Shneerson himself, who became the Seventh Tzaddik of Lubavitch Hasidism. An eminent scholar, he contributed greatly to the dissemination of Jewish knowledge. In addition to his numerous works on Judaism, he also wrote interpretations of the weekly sections of the Torah and the Talmud. Rebbe's influence extended far beyond the borders of Chabad and Orthodox Jewry.

On the collage you can see photos that illustrate the activities of the Seventh Lubavitch Rebbe. Below, on the right, there is a photo of Rebbe’s meeting with US Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, on the left there is a photo of Rebbe’s wife - Chaya Mushka Shneerson.
