\nThe death certificate of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson \u2014 the revered Chabad leader often referred to as \u201cthe Rebbe\u201d \u2014 is on the auction block.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The official certificate, issued Aug. 2, 1995, and mailed by the New York Department of Health to Schneerson\u2019s niece in Israel, is being auctioned by Virtual Judaica on its website \u2014 with a current high bid of $1,936. The auction will end on Jan. 19.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schneerson died on June 12, 1994 at age 92. Because he had no children, his next-of-kin was his niece Dalya Rothman, who lived in Rehovot at the time the death certificate was issued.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the listing, the certificate bears \u201clight age staining\u201d and is \u201ccreased on folds.\u201d Virtual Judaica lists an estimated price of $1,000-$5,000. The certificate is filled out by hand, in a slanting all-caps writing.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not clear whether Schneerson\u2019s niece, or another owner, put the certificate up for auction. Reached on his cell phone Friday, Eli Amsel, who is listed on the Monsey, New York, auction house\u2019s \u201cContact Us\u201d site, said Virtual Judaica could not disclose who the seller is, but he said the item was \u201clegitimately obtained.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The item is not the first Rebbe-related document to go to auction, Amsel said, noting that some of his letters also have been sold through Virtual Judaica. He said items connected to Chabad and Schneerson are \u201cvery popular\u201d on the site.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schneerson\u2019s grave, at Montefiore Cemetery in Queens, New York, is visited by thousands of people annually. Following his death, some of his adherents claimed he was the messiah. Chabad, which is best known for sending emissaries all over the world to engage Jews of all backgrounds, has operated without a rebbe since Schneerson died.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cpersonal particulars\u201d section of the death certificate includes Schneerson\u2019s address (\u201c770 Eastern Parkway,\u201d the Chabad world headquarters in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn), birthplace (\u201cRussia\u201d), profession (\u201cclergy\u201d), birthdate (\u201cApril 13, 1902\u201d), years of college and post-college education(\u201c5+\u201d) and parents\u2019 names (\u201cLevi Yitzchok Schneerson\u201d and \u201cChana Yanefsky.\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not clear why the death certificate was issued to Schneerson\u2019s niece more than a year after his death.<\/span><\/p>\n
