Why I'm Loving Israel
I’m Loving Israel offers special programming, products and services that support Jews in Israel and inspire people around the world. Run by Devorah Benarroch & Shira Raymond, seasoned Olim living in Israel who are AWAKE to the uncertain times we are living through. After C19 many people have woken up to the fact that nothing can be taken for granted and we can not blindly trust our governments, doctors and or spiritual leaders with our physical well being. We all have to do our own homework to investigate what we are being "told" to do in every area of our lives to make sure we are safe.
As we are awaiting the impending Geula, we have been told that Emunah is the main spiritual muscle we must strengthen during these turbulent times. Thus we are building community by bringing together like minded Jews to get Mind, Body & Soul Torah Wisdom to empower ourselves and our families to have the strength to endure all that will unfold until Moshiach arrives!

Inspiring Facilitators
Rabbi Yesoshua Gerzi
Models living kindly, consciously, with integrity, while exuding an infectious appreciation for giving space to others, so as to enable their unique light to flourish and shine. 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 Edut HaMizrach Chachamim. Rabbi Gerzi studied in Kollel in London while working as a physical therapist, music instructor, teacher, counselor, and lecturer, while his wife, Rebbetzin Judith Gerzi made use of her skills in music, art, education, and therapy. Over time, Rabbi Gerzi has sought to incorporate all of his mesorah and chidushim with that which he learns from his close relationships with experts in the fields of history, psychology, medicine, philosophy, sociology, and political science. The Gerzis are truly a “Renaissance Rav and Rebbetzin,” with the willingness and resources to renew their teachings and keep them relevant in our constantly developing world. All of his passion is used in his interaction with his students and current kehilla, in Ramat Beit Shemesh where they endearingly call him the “Pilzno Rebbe.
