About Rabbi Gamliel Rabinovitch

Rabbi Gamliel Rabinovitch is a kabbalist and teacher of the weekly parsha on Lehallel — the filtered YouTube platform. 1217+ of his recordings can be watched here, with no ads and no comments.

Rabbi Gamliel Rabinovitch - called in his titles the Kabbalist and HaRav HaTzaddik - gives a weekly shiur on the parsha, broadcast live from week to week, and a weekly tish. Many of the shiurim are given twice: once in Hebrew and once in Yiddish, and a number of them carry English titles of their own.

On the parsha he asks the questions that turn a week around: why Moshe Rabbeinu did not enter the Land of Israel; the secret of becoming wealthy without troubles from Lech Lecha; the secret of Noah's ark - how to protect your home from the flood; the power of the small mitzvot from "And it shall come to pass, if you hearken"; the secret of a true Jewish home; and where the Shechinah rests today.

He prepares his listeners for every season: Elul and the approaching Day of Judgment, Yom Kippur and why Sukkot comes right after it, the night of Hoshana Rabbah, the Shovavim weeks ("Shuvu banim shovavim" - a chance that will not return), Chanukah, the Seder night, the days of the Omer and Lag BaOmer, the giving of the Torah before Shavuot, the Three Weeks and Shabbat Nachamu - how we merit the redemption.

Beside the weekly shiurim stand the special broadcasts from his home and his community: the central Chanukah lighting, a Tu BiShvat fruit tish, Simchat Beit HaShoeiva, the night of Tisha B'Av, a talk to the people of Israel from his own sukkah, and words of strength in time of war. On raising children he teaches that children see everything and learn from you, and that a child is raised to serve Hashem out of love, not coercion.

Week after week his shiur asks what the parsha says to us now: how Yosef held on to Yiddishkeit in galus (Vayechi), how we get out of Mitzrayim (Bo), searching for a proof of emunah (Va'eira), how we miss the geulah (Beshalach), Shabbos as the cure for all our troubles (Mishpatim), the power of simcha in serving Hashem (Tetzaveh), what we must learn from Korach, the sin we still suffer from today (Shelach), Yaakov Avinu's struggle that continues to this very day (Vayishlach), how we recognize Hashem's signs (Balak), the act of Pinchas and the call to bring Moshiach, and "Our Father has no home" on Matos-Masei.

For parents he asks: do you want the best for your children (Re'eh), how to educate children without fights (Chukas), and what is the secret of successful parenting (Nitzavim-Vayelech); for husband and wife, the power of tefillah and the secret of a successful marriage, from Bereishis. His weekly tish is broadcast live - among them a tish for Rosh Chodesh Iyar and the "Yom HaBahir" gathering held in honor of his birthday - and many of the talks on the parsha are given in Yiddish. Each shiur opens on its own page, with no ads and no comments around it.
