Meaningful Interviews: Rabbi Zalman Sirota #1

Reb Zalman grew up in Russia during the 1950-60s. He was greatly impacted by his grandfathers, Reb Mordechai Sirota and Reb Yisroel Olidort to live a Torah and Chasidic life. He gives us details from "within" of what it was like as a child and teenager in that environment, living daily with Mesiras Nefesh. He also talks about Breslov and their Mesiras Nefesh to go to Uman for Rosh Hashana as well as Reb Levi Yitzchak Bender, who was one of their leaders. He also shares information about Rabbi Aron Chazan who together with his family had an open home, and practiced openly Judaism in face of the KGB.
