context_page_description: Moishe Sternbuch is a Haredi rabbi who serves as the Vice-President of the Rabbinical Court and the Ra'avad of the Edah HaChareidis in Jerusalem. He resides in Har Nof where he is the rabbi of the local GR"A Synagogue, named after the Vilna Gaon of whom he is a direct descendant.
context_section_description: After the war, Sternbuch decided to travel to the Land of Israel via France and Italy to study the Torah as taught in the Brisk yeshiva. He enrolled in the Hebron Yeshiva, simultaneously cultivating relationships with leading rabbis Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchik (in 1952), Avrohom Yeshaya Karelitz and Dov Berish Weidenfeld, all of whom he used to meet with regularly in their homes. 
  Sternbuch subsequently took up  a position in Johannesburg, South Africa. He was very involved in outreach, including his noted lectures to those in the medical field.
  He strongly opposes the Zionist State of Israel and was against its establishment. Holding a high position of authority in the anti-Zionist Edah HaChareidis, he is of the view that there is no connection between the existence of a Jewish state whatsoever  and the beginning of the redemption of the Jewish People to the Land of Israel which will precede the Messianic Era.
