Shalom Freedman - Aliyah To Israel

Aliyah To Israel

Troubled by the threat to the survival of Israel in the October 1973 Yom Kippur War, in early 1974 he made aliyah (immigrated) to Israel. This aliyah to Israel also became a process of teshuva or return to traditional Jewish religious practice. In this he was inspired by Rabbis Eliyahu Barness and Chaim Pearl, and in a later phase by the teacher of Hasidism, David Herzberg.
