Rabbi Mordechai Dov Ber Slonim was born in Lubavitch in 1840; son of Rabbi Yaakov Slonim and Rebbetzin Menucha Rachel, daughter of the Mitteler Rebbe, grand-daughter of the Alter Rebbe, the Baal HaTanya. From his father's side, Rabbi Mordechai Dov Ber was 10th generation to the Maharsha. His facial features famously bore a great resemblance to his grandfather's, the Mitteler Rebbe of Lubavitch. In 1844-1845 he immigrated to Eretz Israel, and settled with his family in Hebron, where he became the director of Kollel Chabad in Eretz Israel, and a prominent member of the local Chabad community. Several times he visited Lubavitch, and developed close relations with the Rebbe Maharash, and later with his son, the Rebbe Rashab (who referred to him in his letters as "my son-in-law"). Rabbi Slonim died in 1915, and was buried in Hebron.
