Editing Zalman Shimon Dvorkin (section)

== Years in Russia ==
After Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim left Lubavitch, he went to study in Kharkov together with a group of Tmimim. The studies took place in the women's section of the "Mtchenski Shul" synagogue and in the small synagogue on the first floor.

He later married Rebbetzin Tzvia, daughter of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Dobravsky. About a year after his wedding, Rav Zalman Shimon was appointed as Rabbi and Shochet in the town of Voronok in Ukraine. After several years, he relocated to the city of Stradov where he served as Rabbi and Moreh Hora'ah. He taught Torah publicly in classes with both scholars and simple people, both Nigleh and Chassidus, sometimes having to work underground.
