Editing Rabbi Avraham Zaltzman (section)

== In Eretz HaKodesh ==
About half a year after the passing of his wife Mrs. Bracha, he succeeded in leaving the Soviet Union in the winter of 5728 (1968), and settled together with his daughter and her family in Kfar Chabad. In 5729 (1969) he visited the Rebbe for the first time.

With the establishment of Nachalat Har Chabad in Kiryat Malachi at the Rebbe's initiative, he was among the first chassidim who moved to live in the neighborhood, and was appointed as manager of the Kollel Avreichim.

In Israel, he married for the second time to Mrs. Eidele, who was a Holocaust survivor and had served until their marriage as a mikvah attendant in Lod.

Along with his role as head of the Kollel, he devoted himself to helping the neighborhood residents and the settlement of new immigrants, established a gemach (free loan fund) from his salary as Kollel manager, and was counted among the elder Chabad chassidim in the neighborhood and one of its most respected figures.

Despite various attempts to replace him, he served at the Rebbe's instruction as head of the Kollel until his passing on 14 Shevat 5744 (1984) and was buried according to his request in the Mount of Olives cemetery in Jerusalem. On his matzeivah was engraved the text: "Here lies Avraham Zaltzman, who merited to learn in Lubavitch," according to his request that no other text be added to the matzeivah.
