Binyamin Zeilberger

Rabbi Binyamin Zeilberger (sometimes pronounced Tzahlberger; Hebrew: רב בנימין צלברגר/ציילברגר) was the rosh yeshiva of Beth Hatalmud Rabbinical College in the second half of the twentieth century.

[1] In 1935 he enrolled in the Mir Yeshiva in what is now Belarus,[2] where he shared a room in a boarding house with Aryeh Leib Malin, Yonah Minsker, and Michel Feinstein.

[4] Zeilberger remained with the yeshiva when it moved to Japan in 1941, then to Shanghai,[2] and then in 1947 to the United States where it was reëstablished in Brooklyn.

[2] Zeilberger soon joined the Beth Hatalmud Rabbinical College in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, [2] established in 1950 by older students from the Mir Yeshiva who had also escaped from Europe including Aryeh Leib Malin.

[5] Zeilberger later became a rosh yeshiva there[2][5] and was on the faculty for over fifty years.
