There he studied at the prestigious “Torat Arot” heider of Rabbi Asher Greidi. After his bar mitzvah, he studied at the yeshiva for younger boys, Mesilat Yesharim in Bnei Brak, with the well-known Kabbalist Rabbi Nisim Peretz. He was an outstanding student there and studying with a great, well-known rabbi shaped his further life path.
