A fascinating relationship between the Rebbe and Rabbi Yosef Leizerson, the Chairman of Chinuch Atzmai (the independent religious education system in Israel), was just discovered in a recent interview for JEM’s My Encounter with the Rebbe project.
In the interview, Rabbi Leizerson talks about his extensive relationship that he had with the Rebbe for over 20 years.
He first met the Rebbe in the Lamed's when he came to the Rebbe to discuss a variety of issues in Israel’s education system.
Over the years, Rabbi Leizerson held a wide range of jobs, ranging from the System Administrator for “Agudas Yisroel,” to the various public functions as a member of the Jerusalem City Council, as well as his duties as a senior member of Chinuch Atzmai.
In the interview, he also discussed the interesting relationship the Rebbe had with his late uncle, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, OBM.
In this week’s Living Torah, Rabbi Leizerson is featured, discussing an amazing story of Ruach Hakodesh with the Rebbe.
