Yud-Tet Kislev, the 19th of Kislev and "Rosh HaShanah [lit. New Year's Day] of the Chassidic year," is the yahrzeit of Rabbi DovBer (c.1700-1772), the "Maggid" of Mezritch, successor to the Baal Shem Tov (1698-1760), founder of the Chassidic movement. It is also the anniversary of the miraculous release of the founder of the Chabad dynasty, Rabbi Shneur Zalman (1745-1812), from Russian prison in 1798 on charges of treason and the publication date in 1796 of his famous book of Chassidism (and Kabbalah, psychology and ethics), Tanya.
