Zalman was born in 1902 in Kozova, Poland (now modern-day Kozova, Ukraine). He was an incredibly intelligent, gifted young man, who studied Torah, mathematics, German and Russian. While in Poland, he published a poem called "David and Michal", and a drama called "Yitzhak's Victim." He moved to Israel in 1922 and was married the year after. He was sought after for the role of secretary at the famous Slobodka Yeshiva in Hebron. He was at the Slonim family home when he was stabbed to death. He was 27 years old.
Zalman was a victim of the 1929 Hebron Massacre. On August 24, 1929, a violent mob of up to 700 Arab Palestinians attacked the Jewish quarter of Hebron, citing rumors that the Jewish residents were planning on seizing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Jewish homes, businesses, schools and synagogues were pillaged and ransacked, and participants of the mob used guns, knives, axes and their bare hands to kill 67 Jews and injure 58 more. Most of the bodies of the victims were buried by Arab Palestinians in mass graves, ignoring Jewish burial customs. There is a memorial in the Old Hebron Jewish Cemetery dedicated to the victims of the massacre.
