The opening as it read in 2010
Yitzchok Zilberstein is an Av Beis Din and posek in the Ramat Elchanan area of Bnei Brak and the rabbi of Mayanei ha-Yeshua Hospital in Bnei Brak. Zilberstein was born in Poland , but emigrated to Palestine while still young. There he studied in Etz Chaim Yeshiva in Jerusalem under Rabbi Aryeh Levin . Eventually, Zilberstein moved to the more advanced Slabodka yeshiva in Bnei Brak where he became a student of Rabbi Yehezkel Abramsky , who ordained him. Zilberstein married a granddaughter of Aryeh Levin (Aliza Shoshana Elyashiv, the daughter of Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv , she died in 1997). Continuing his study of Torah in the Kollel attached to his alma mater , Zilberstein's rabbinical ordination was seconded by the leading posek of Bnei Barak, Rabbi Shmuel Wosner . Subsequently, Zilberstein served as a Talmudic lecturer in the Yeshiva at Lucerne , Switzerland for a few years. Eventually he accepted the position as Chief Rabbinic Justice of the Ramat Elchanan neighborhood of Bnei Barak at which time he also opened a Kollel Beis Dovid in the largely secular city Holon , Israel . Zilberstein is an acknowledged halachic authority and is especially renowned as an expert in medical issues related to Halacha . His expertise is on par with that of his famous father-in-law, Yosef Sholom Elyashiv, and brother-in-law, Chaim Kanievsky . Many works have been published by Zilberstein himself as well as by his students including Aleinu L'Shabayach and Tov'cha Yabiu on Mussar and Chashokay Chemed on Shas . v t e1
