Editing Reb Zushe Wilmowsky (section)

After he arrived at the Cremona displaced persons camp in Italy, where he befriended Rabbi Shneur Zalman Levin. Together they established a synagogue in the camp for the many refugees, and R' Zalman was the one who brought him close to Chabad Chassidism.

After immigrating to [[Eretz Yisroel|Israel]] on the 23rd of Adar II 5706, R' Zusha entered to study at the Achei Tmimim Yeshiva in Tel Aviv at age 25, which was considered very old compared to the other students in the yeshiva, and began studying Chassidus in an organized manner under the guidance of Rabbi Chaim Shaul Brook. In those days, he received an instruction from [[The Rebbe Rayatz|the Previous Rebbe]] to study shechita (ritual slaughter), after he described to the Rebbe all the tribulations he had endured during the war years.

In 1948, when Rabbi Moshe Gurary from Tel Aviv was staying at 770, he was called to the Rebbe's son-in-law - the Rebbe, who showed him a note in his father-in-law's (the Previous Rebbe's) handwriting: "Please inquire about the nature of the young man Z.W." R' Moshe told all he knew about R' Zusha. Immediately after his words, the Rebbe went up to the Previous Rebbe's apartment.

While still single, he established Tomchei Tmimim Lod, the Ohalei Yosef Yitzchak network, and N'shei Chabad, as detailed below.

He built his home with Mrs. Feiga of the Poker family, and the Rebbe wrote that it would be preferable for them to establish their residence in Kfar Chabad, and indeed after the wedding they settled in Kfar Chabad.
