Zalman Silber has also been a major supporter of and has been involved on an advisory basis with Chesed L’Avraham for more then ten years. His loyalty extends beyond merely him. In fact, Zalman’s family has been Chesed L’Avraham supporters too.

The organization began when Rebbe Grand Rabbe Eliezer Zusia Portugal continued his works helping the underprivileged and started up an international charity organization known as Chesed L'Avraham. The Rebbe authored Noam Eliezer and Kedushas Eliezer, and composed many popular Hasidic tunes. He died in 1982 and was buried in the Viznitzer Cemetery in Monsey, NY. He was succeeded by his son, the present Skulener Rebbe.

The Skulener Rebbe continues his father's holy work by running the Chesed L'Avraham organization to help the needy in the Holy Land and around the world, and continues to write new Hasidic tunes on a regular basis. His synagogue is located on 54th street in the Boro Park section of Brooklyn, NY, near 13th avenue.
