Dovber Schneuri also known as Der Mitteler Rebbe ("The Middle Rebbe" in Yiddish) was an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi. He was the second Rebbe (spiritual leader) of the Chabad Lubavitch Hasidic movement that originated in the town of Liadi in Imperial Russia. Rabbi Dovber was the son of Rabbi Shneur Zalman, the founder of Chabad, and the father-in-law of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn the third Rebbe of Chabad known as the Tzemach Tzedek. He is commonly referred to as the "Mitteler Rebbe" (Middle Rebbe), meaning he was in the "middle" between the first and third rebbes. Rabbi Dovber was the first Chabad rebbe to live in the town of Lubavich (now in present-day Belarus), the town for which this Hasidic dynasty is named. After the death of his father, he consolidated the movement by creating sharp contrasts with other forms of Hasidism. His major works are methodical tracts on the mystical aspects of prayer, some of which have been translated by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan.
