R. Shneur Zalman Fradkin was born in Liadi in 1830 (thus his appellation "Rabbi Zalman Ladier") and was principle disciple of R. Menachem Mendel Schneersohn of Lubavitch (author Responsa Tzemach Tzedek), who held him in the very highest esteem. In 1855, R. Shneur Zalman was appointed Rabbi of Polotsk, and in 1868, Rabbi of Lublin. In 1892, he settled in Jerusalem, where he founded and presided over the city's Chassidic Beth Din. He died in Jerusalem in 1902. See H.M. Heilman, Beith Rebbi (Berdichev, 1902), p. 253
