A decade later, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and established Kiryat Sanz in Netanya and in Jerusalem along with their numerous Torah and chesed institutions. During the last years of his life, he founded the Mifal HaShas, a global organization of thorough study of all the Talmudic tractates by thousands of Torah scholars all over the world.
