    Rabbi Zisman’s courage, faith and positive energy is truly an inspiration reflected in the love and respect of his large family and very many friends. It was an honor knowing him and having him share his knowledge and experience as Vice President of the Marbella Board of Directors and to daven with him during the pandemic in our building’s minyan Bais Marbella. His memory should be a blessing and his family should be comforted and know much happiness in the future.
