Chasid Bobuv B'nusach Chabad

MIB, who�s infrequent contributions here have been astounding, writes in the comments to the How did the last male Schneerson become a Bobover chasid? post:

There is another Lubavitcher family that descends from the Tzemach Tzedek. They are the Zeligsons (as in the late Doc) and his son who lives in Crown Heights. They descend from the Z'Z daughter Rade Freide.

As for why Sholom Ber Schneerson is, as he has called himself "Chasid Bobuv B'nusach Chabad", one has to know the man to understand the dynamics... For one, his late father Schneur Zalman Schneerson wasn�t exactly accepted by many seventh generation Chassidim which may have had some effect. The Rebbe on the other hand showed Schneur Zalman (who was a first cousin of the Rebbe's father) much respect in his dealings with him.

In any event Sholom Ber obviously did not raise his children in the Bobov spirit as all three of them are Lubavicther Chassidim.

P.S. Interestingly the RaSHaG had -at one point- wanted to make a shidduch between his son Bere and Sholom Ber's sister Hadassah.

Schneur Zalman of NY writes:

There certainly are a few other Chabad families descendent from the Tzemach Tzedek but not ben acher ben (son after son) The Butman�s (Mrs. Butman Sr. was the sister of R. Zalman Schneersohn) are one such family.

Most of the Schneersohns in Israel are members of the Slonim family who changed their last name and are descendents of the Mitteler Rebbe. In Israel there are descendents of the Bobroisker who are frum but not Chabad and not ben acher ben. I am aware of no such descendents from the Kopuster, Nizhener, Ladier etc.

The Tchebiner are not Chabad and even Reb Baruch Shimen's father in Cracow, Poland was a Belzer Chasid. By the way there are descendents of the Mahrash in Israel, who are non religious and its through them I got a photo of the Mechtan of the Maharash the Gvir Horenstein.
