Inspiring Facilitators

Rabbi Alon Anava

Rabbi Alon Anava was born and raised in Israel. He grew up in Ra’anana in a very secular family without any Torah education or knowledge. He grew up hating religion and anything that had to do with it. He did not believe in G-od and the Torah and lived life as a secular Jew. In 1998, he moved to New York and soon after, on a very special day, the morning of Passover 2001 he had a Near Death Experience due to a sudden cardiac arrest. This event has changed his life for the GOOD!!!

After five years of Yeshivah studies, Rabbi Anava started sharing his Near Death Experience with the public lecturing all around the world at Schools, Synagogues, Yeshivahs, outreach programs and organizations, private sessions and much more, reaching tens of thousands of people at over 1,000 lectures in the past ten years.

Rabbi Yehoshua Gerzi

Rabbi Yehoshua 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.
