Schneur Zalman of Liadi the Alter Rebbe

Four years ago in 2006 I wrote an article on the Shklov Khasidim and their connections to the Frankists and the Catholic son of the first Lubavitch Rebbe Schneur Zalman of Liadi. Around that time I read an article on Rebbe Moshe in Ha'aretz (an Israeli newspaper) about the research of David Assaf. I had also been studying the background of this story for some time.
