Rabbi Yehoshua Gerzi models living kindly, consciously, and with integrity, while exuding an infectious appreciation for giving space to others, so as to enable their unique light to flourish and shine. Endearingly known to his students as the “Pilzno Rebbe,” Rabbi Gerzi teaches extensively on the halachic and mystical tradition he has received from his family and mentors stretching back to the Baal Shem Tov and the Vilna Gaon, as well as kabbalistic and halachic schools of the Sefardi and Edot HaMizrach Chachamim. As part of his own journey, he merited to serve as an aide (shimush) with various talmidei chachamim from the pre-war generation, including Rabbi Yosef Singer, the Pilzno Rav. Rabbi Gerzi is widely embraced for his unique contribution to mussar, chassidic, and kabbalistic thought, particularly in practical day-to-day living.
