Campaign Aims to Restore What Was Lost in Devastating School Fire By Avi Shiff South Fallsburg. The name itself conjures up images of a self-contained shtetel, a secluded community perpetuating the timeless mesorah of its founder. The name represents Torah being lived and taught in purity in the serene and invigorating atmosphere of the Catskill Mountains. The founding rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Gedolah Zichron Moshe of South Fallsburg, NY, was Rav Tzvi Abba Gorelick zt”l, who was later joined by ybl”c Rav Elya Ber Wachtfogel shlit”a. When Rav Abba’s father, Rav Yeruchem Gorelick zt”l, was looking for a place to relocate his yeshiva from the Bronx, Hashgacha led him to the Laurel Park Hotel in South Fallsburg, NY.
