About Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Halevi Zimmerman

Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Zimmerman was born in 1879 in Hlusk, where his father was the Rav. He was named for his maternal grandfather, R' Yaakov Moshe Yerushalimsky who died in March 1879. He studied under Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik of Brisk, and then in the yeshiva of Rabbi Baruch Ber Leibowitz, his brother in law (married to his sister Feige). After his marriage to Esther Gittel Weiman, daughter of R' Aharon Chaim Weiman, he became the Rav of Konotop in Ukraine. He came to the United States in 1930 with one son, followed by the rest of his family. (as documented in All for the Boss by Ruchama Shain)
