Meaningful Interviews: Rabbi Zalman Sirota Part #1

Reb Zalman Sirota grew up in Russia during the 1950-60s. 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.

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 openly practiced Judaism in face of the KGB.
