Schneerson House

Beit Schneerson is a building in the southern part of the Beit Hadassah neighborhood. The building was built in the 19th century by Chabad Hassidim and was used as a council house, a midrash, a place for receiving guests and for living.

Beit Schneerson was the residence of Rabbi Remocha Rachel Salonim of the Schneerson family (granddaughter of the old Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Schneor Zalman Maladi and daughter of the middle Rebbe, Rabbi Dov Bar), who served as the mother of the Chabad settlement in Hebron and who was known for her righteousness and virtues, and was revered by all the residents of Hebron.

Two more floors were added to Beit Schneerson and a new building was attached to the northern facade of the building called 'Beit Shishesha' in memory of the six yeshiva students who were murdered there on the night of Shabbat Parshas Amor when they came to make happy the women of Beit Hadassah.

On the back side of Beit Schneerson another building was built called 'Beit Fink' after the donors.
