Shtark Tank

This episode is dedicated in memory of my brother-in-law, Eli Moshe Zimbalist z"l, who was killed protecting Am Yisrael. Eli Moshe loved his shul. For many years the Zimbalist's have been key players in Rabbi Rosner's Nofei HaShemesh community. The shul currently only has a Social Hall which is being used for prayers. You can help us build a proper Beit Midrash, which will be dedicated in his honor. Click Here To Build For Eli Mo. To listen to my interview with Nachum Segal about Eli Moshe, ⁠click here⁠.
