Rabbi Yitzi Hurwitz: Spreading Joy and Faith

Words of Wisdom from Rabbi Yitzi | June 27, 2025

Despite facing one of life’s most difficult challenges, Rabbi Yitzi Hurwitz continues to spread joy and faith to thousands around the globe. Diagnosed in 2012 with ALS, Rabbi Yitzi is now 95% paralyzed and no longer able to speak or breath on his own. Thanks to the miracle of technology, Rabbi Yitzi continues to spread his wisdom through his eyes, focusing on each and every letter of these Torah articles. Rabbi Yitzi, his wife Dina and their seven children are the Rebbe’s Shluchim to Temecula, California.

“Dear Rabbi Yitzi
If I could make your life a movie, I would. It would record what your eyes have witnessed, your ears have heard, and what your soul has been revealed in the past decade of your life.
Your story is an important one, and reminds me to reflect: Am I fulfilling my mission on this Earth to the best of my ability, am I achieving despite my setbacks, and am I G-d motivated or me-motivated?
Thank you for your vulnerability and openness to the world.”
