 Rabbi Shimon Silver was born in London, England in 1960. He was educated at Hasmonean Grammar School. After graduating with his ‘O-levels’, he stayed on two more years for his A-levels before attending Gateshead Yeshiva.At Gateshead, Rabbi Silver studied under, among others, R’ Leib Gurwicz, R’ Leib Lopian, R’ Moshe Schwab, R’ Avrohom Gurwicz and R’ Mattisyahu Salomon, currently mashgiach in Beth Medrash Govoha, Lakewood. In 1982, Rabbi Silver began his studies in Beth Medrash Govoha. He settled there for 3 years after marrying Chani Goldman of Washington Heights, NY in 1983. Rabbi Silver earned his Semicha in 1985 from Beth Medrash Govoha. Since 1985, Rabbi Silver has served as a founding Kollel fellow at the West Side Kollel in Manhattan, a member of the Kollel in Pittsburgh, Rabbi of Shaare Tefillah (the “Russian Shul”), and Bais Medrash rebbe at the Mesivta of Greater Pittsburgh in White Oak, PA. In 1991 he launched his Halochoscope weekly. This newsletter subsequently became very popular in the Pittsburgh community and nationwide. Although it is currently not being produced, it will probably be revived due to demand. Rebitzen Chani Silver, nee Goldman, was born in 1963 in Washington Heights, New York.
