Rabbi Eliezer Zalmanov hails from Brooklyn, NY. He attended yeshiva (rabbinical school) in New York, Israel, and Europe, and received his rabbinical ordination in 2002. He is a member of the Chabad.org "Ask the Rabbi" team, and a writer and editor for various publications.
Chanie Zalmanov, a proud Hoosier, is an Indianapolis native. She is a graduate of Beth Chana Teachers' Seminary in Safed, Northern Israel. She is also an interior designer, with a focus on enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of Chabad centers around the world.
The Zalmanovs live in Munster and have been directing Chabad of Northwest Indiana since September 2003. Their combined experience, along with their devotion to bringing the Jewish message to every single Jew, is surely an asset to the community.
