Zecharia moved to Williamsburg in 1910, along with East Side families who eventually moved to Brooklyn and other neighborhoods. There, he established the family synagogue on Roebling Street. Eventually, the synagogue moved to 94 South 10th Street. The deed to the building stated that one side of the property was the border between the City of Brooklyn and the town of Williamsburg. He and sons Louis and Sam were active in the Board of Directors of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath, which Louis had established with his friend Binyomin Wilhelm in 1918. It was the second yeshivah in Brooklyn, (the first was Tifereth Bachurim, which became Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin in 1919).Story of a Century
