Menachem Mendel Schneerson (April 18, 1902-June 12, 1994), referred to by Lubavitchers as The Rebbe, was a prominent Orthodox Jewish rabbi who was the seventh and last Rebbe (spiritual leader) of the Chabad Lubavitch branch of Hasidic Judaism (which is also part of Haredi Judaism.) He was fifth in a direct paternal line to the third Chabad Lubavitch Rebbe Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn (known as the Tzemach Tzedek), his namesake.
