The Yahrtzeit of the Holy Rebbetzin of the Dubno
Maggid
To The Editor:
For many generations now, the name of the holy Rebbetzin of
the Maggid of Dubno zt"l has escaped us. There has
never been a mention of this tzadeikes in all the
encyclopedia and Jewish Heritage volumes and in fact, some
authors have confused the name of the Maggid's mother, the
Rebbetzin Hinda zt"l (who was the daughter of Rabbi
Nochum of Kobryn) with the name of his wife.
So we are all the more grateful to Hashem that we are able to
at long last reveal to you and your readers that a USA
researcher, Shelley Pollero, has discovered amongst old civil
Russian/Polish registrations, the record of the petiroh
of the Rebbetzin of the Dubno Maggid, whose name was Adel
(Udel) zt"l. She was niftar on 2nd April 1811
at the very young age of 56 and was buried in Zamosc at the
side of her husband the Dubno Maggid zt"l whom she
outlived by 7 years. The yahrtzeit of this
tzadeikes is therefore 8th Nisan. We do hope that you
will give this a mention.
Sincerely yours
