Editing Zalman Moshe HaYitzchaki (section)

== Life History ==
Born in 1873 in Nevel, Russia, to Reb Dov Ber HaYitzchaki and Mrs. Rachel HaYitzchaki, where he received his chassidic education.

He married Mrs. Necheh Reines in Zhembin in 1897. The Reines were a deeply rooted Chabad family from Zhembin. He established his residence there and became one of the prominent mashpiim in the chassidic landscape, while working as a shochet and bodek like his father.

R' Zalman Moshe was a central figure in Nevel due to his personality, his famous farbrengens, and his tremendous influence.

He would often say that while a shochet who is drunk may not shecht, a shochet who doesn't say l'chaim certainly may not shecht, as he surely isn't yerei shamayim... R' Zalman Moshe would farbreng every Thursday night since he didn't shecht the next day. When R' Zalman Moshe farbrenged, he indeed said l'chaim properly, and when in good spirits would speak pearls of wisdom...

When his eldest daughter reached marriageable age, he asked the Frierdiker Rebbe for the merit of a tamim as a son-in-law. The Rebbe replied: "On your way to the slaughterhouse, think Chassidus." From then on, R' Zalman Moshe was careful to think Chassidus while walking, despite it being in the dark hours of night, in Nevel's muddy ground, when walking required great care and attention. He merited a tamim son-in-law - R' Avraham Drizin, who later became a mashpia and director of Tomchei Tmimim yeshivos in the Soviet Union and Eretz Yisroel.
