Avrohom Yitzchok Ulman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rabbi Avrohom Yitzchok Ulman (Hebrew: הרב אברהם יצחק אולמאן) is a senior rabbi living in Jerusalem.
He was born in Hungary and immigrated to E. Israel as a child. He serves on the Beis Din (court of Jewish law), also known as the Badatz, of the Edah HaChareidis, Jerusalem's council of Haredi communities. He also presides over his own Beis Din, which deals mainly with financial matters. He is known as an expert in Choshen Mishpat.
Rabbi Ulman is a member of the Dushinsky Hasidic movement. He was the closest talmid (disciple) of the previous Rebbe of Dushinsky, Rabbi Yisroel Moshe Dushinsky.
He speaks Hebrew, Yiddish and some German.
He lives in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Givat Shaul, where he is the rabbi of the biggest synagogue of the neighborhood, called "Ner Yisroel", more commonly known as "Zupnik", and of the section of the neighborhood surrounding it. Rabbi Ulman became leader of the community upon its foundation, about 30 years ago.
