1766 CE–1828 CE · Acharonim · Strashelye
Rabbi Aaron HaLevi Horowitz (1766–1828), known as R. Aaron of Strashelye (Staroselye), was one of the foremost disciples of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of Chabad. After Shneur Zalman's death in 1812 a leadership rift developed with the Alter Rebbe's son and successor, Rabbi Dov Ber (the Mitteler Rebbe), and Aaron established his own branch of Chabad Hasidism — its followers known as the Hasidim of Strashelye — in the Mogilev region of Belarus. He is best known for his profound expositions of Lurianic Kabbalah and Chabad thought, especially his works Avodat HaLevi and Sha'arei HaAvodah (Avodat HaBeinonim).
