After the war he moved to the United States,[6] and was appointed rosh yeshiva at Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim Lubavitch, in Brooklyn, NY,[1] and in 1971 immigrated to Israel, where he established the Netzach Yisroel - Vilna Ramiles Yeshiva[7] in the Rechavia neighborhood of Jerusalem.[1]
On Thursday afternoons he gave an open, high-level shiur in the yeshiva, attended by "Rabbis, intellectuals, religious court judges, a Supreme Court justice and various professors."[1]
At age 20 he married a daughter of Rabbi Meir Bassin, who died shortly before the wedding; despite his age, Gustman inherited Bassin's positions of[1] both dayan in the Bais Din of Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski and Rosh Yeshiva of the Ramailes Yeshiva in Vilna.[6]
Gustman's son Meir was murdered by the Nazis.[4][1] Gustman, his wife Sarah and a daughter survived.
Life in Israeledit
The yeshiva he opened in Israel was named after the yeshiva in Vilna he had headed, beginning in 1935[3] until World War II.[8] Instrestingly, as a form of payback that his life was saved by "the shelter of the bushes and the fruit of the trees" in a forest during the war, he personally acted as gardener in his own yeshiva in Israel.[9]
The Gustmans were alive to see grandchildren. Gustman's wife passed away before he did.[1]
