Hacham Yom Tob Yedid, ZL
Shaare Zion mourns the loss of Hacham Yom Tob Yedid, ZTL. The Rabbi served as the final Chief Rabbi of Halab (Aleppo) and represents the final link to our glorious historical connection with this city and era.
The Rabbi served our kehilla for over 30 years by inspiring and educating thousands of people. His family follows in his legacy by teaching and supporting Torah to our entire community both young and old.
Please see our biography page and photo gallery on Rabbi Yom Tob Yedid to obtain more information.
