S. Z. Schneersohn discussed in Ha-Levanon. 17 December 1880. P4.

He was the son of Yehuda Leib Schneersohn, who founded the Kopust dynasty and was a grandson of the Menachem Mendel Schneersohn (the third Chabad Rebbe). He succeeded his father immediately following his death in 1866. He is the author of the 1902 text Magen Avot.^[2][3] He had a son Yehuda Leib.^[1]

Shlomo Zalman Schneersohn placed a portrait of his grandfather in his courtyard for his followers to see. The move is understood to help lend legitimacy to the Kapust branch of Chabad Hasidism.^[4]
