Rabbi Yehoshua Shneur Zalman Serebryanski, known familiarly as Reb Zalman, (1904-1991) was an Orthodox rabbi and Mashpia belonging to the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement. He was a follower of Rabbi Joseph Isaac Schneersohn (1880-1950), the sixth Rebbe of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement, known as Rebbe Rayatz, and Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, (1902-1994) the seventh Rebbe. He married Bracha Futerfas, the sister of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Futerfas, also a famous Mashpia.

He was born in Czarist Russia, and arrived in Australia in 1949. He was appointed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe as administrator (menahel) of Chabad institutions in Melbourne, also known today as the Yeshivah Centre.

Serebryanski was one of the four pioneering founders of the Yeshivah community. Together with the late Rabbi Isser Kluwgant, the late Rabbi Shmuel Betzalel Althaus and the late Rabbi Nochum Zalman Gurewitz, Serebryanski laid the groundwork for what the Yeshivah community and educational facilities are today.

He founded the Yeshivah College High School, first in Shepparton, then in Burwood, and finally in East St. Kilda. He also founded the Beth Rivkah Ladies College and the Yeshivah Gedolah Rabbinical College.

He won the admiration and love of the entire Melbourne community for his humble, pleasant, soft-spoken demeanour, and kind and caring attitude.

He is survived by two sons, Chaim and Arel, a daughter, Nechama, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
