Editing Shlomo Yosef Zevin (section)

== Jerusalem Period ==
In the month of Menachem Av 1937, he received the Rebbe Rayatz's consent to accept a position as a Talmud teacher at the Mizrachi Teachers and Rabbis Seminary in Jerusalem, and moved his residence there, where he lived until his last day.

After the passing of the Rebbe Rayatz on 10 Shevat 1950, Rabbi Zevin together with his friends Rabbi Chaim Na'eh and Rabbi Avraham Chen worked extensively on the matter of the Rebbe's acceptance of leadership.

While living in Jerusalem, he was appointed as a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council of Israel, published many articles and Torah innovations in the Orthodox, Torah, and general press, and maintained close relations with the Rebbe. He received encouragement from the Rebbe for all his books and was the Rebbe's representative in all matters relating to the President of Israel, Mr. Shazar. In 1960, he received the Israel Prize for Literature.

Rabbi Zevin was a partner in founding and even taught for a period at the Chen circles for Chabad philosophy.

In Jerusalem, he also began editing the "Talmudic Encyclopedia", and was the chief editor of the series until his passing on 21 Adar II 1978.

After his passing, in the month of Tishrei 1980, his wife visited the Rebbe and was amazed by the special atmosphere. When she entered into private audience with the Rebbe at the end of the month, she told the Rebbe that it was a shame her husband didn't merit to be with the Rebbe, and the Rebbe gave her an answer implying that he was indeed present spiritually.
