Chaim Rutenberg grew up in Muncie, New York, a follower of his heart from a very young age. He always tried to do the right thing, but not necessarily in a manner that his family and community expected. So when he heard a talk by Yaakov “Ketzaleh” Katz in Muncie, and Ketzaleh didn’t ask for money, but instead asked for Aliyah, Chaim was touched.

And while Chaim and his wife did go back and forth, they are now here to stay.
Chaim is also the founder of Beef Up Our Boys, and Goel talked with him about that important army initiative as well.
