Editing Sholom Bruchstat (section)

Born on 3rd Sivan 5709 (1949) to his father R' Yehoshua from a family of Boyan chassidim in [[Eretz Yisroel|Eretz Hakodesh]]. In his youth, he studied in Yeshiva Ketana Tomchei Tmimim Lod and in Yeshiva Gedola Tomchei Tmimim Kfar Chabad.

He first traveled to the Rebbe for his Kvutza year which began on Pesach 5728. When the new Kvutza members arrived at 770, they stood in the hall near Gan Eden Hatachton, and when the Rebbe passed by them, he blessed them with "A kosher and freilichen preparation for Pesach."

At the end of his Kvutza year, after Pesach 5729, he had to return to Eretz Hakodesh due to the agreement reached with the IDF regarding their travel to Kvutza, requiring immediate return at the year's end.
