Biography

Simcha Zissel was born to Rabbi Chizkiyahu Avrohom in Jerusalem in the month of Adar 5672 (1912).

He was not in Chevron the day of the 1929 massacre.[3]

He died on April 21, 2000 (16 Nisan), the day before Shabbos Chol HaMoed Pesach (age 88). Despite religious prohibitions for eulogies during the holiday except for great scholars, "a huge throng estimated by police to be around 100,000, headed by Maran HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliashiv,"[3] did so Sunday morning, one of the intermediary days.

Eight years later he was described as "one of the great mussar educators of our generation."[5]

gollark: - I believe we should end racial discrimination by replacing computer monitors with 1-bit black and white displays so race cannot be distinguished.
gollark: - As eating meat places suffering on millions of innocent animals, I believe animal meat should be replaced with human flesh from donors, as humans are able to meaningfully consent to this while animals are not (and don't get a choice in practice anyway).
gollark: - To increase the efficiency of the education system and encourage self-directed learning, I believe schools should lock children in individual cubicles with textbooks for 5 hours a day instead of using classrooms and teachers.
gollark: - It's important to me that women aren't forced to have children they don't want or may not be able to take care of.- which is why I support mandatory sterilization for all - children would be grown in vats and raised by the government instead.
gollark: - I support the right to privacy!- In light of governments' large-scale mass surveillance campaigns which they do not seem inclined to stop, I would support an open and transparent volunteer spying agency using open source software and hardware to gather and process data in order to act as a competitor.
