  1. Allow me to inform you that Hatzoloh of Eretz Yisroel was founded in 1988 by three individuales, They traveled to Boro Park and spent time with the Boro Park coordinators to better understand the workings of Ameican Hatzoloh. It was originally supposed to begin operations in Yerushalayim, however Shmuel Reichman zt”l donated $75,000.00 to have it begin in Bnei Brak in memory of his zeida Reb Nochum Halpern. I know this as a fact because I was one of the three.

  2. Please note, on my previous comment I erred regarding the date Hatzoloh of Eretz Yisroel was established. It was on May 10th 1987,
    11 Iyar 5747.
