Rostov-on-Don

Rostov-on-Don, a city in southern Russia, became the headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement from about 1915 to 1924. The fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Sholom DovBer Schneersohn (the Rashab), moved there during World War I, died in Rostov in 1920, and is buried in the city; his son, the sixth Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, led the movement from there before leaving the Soviet Union.
