A Reader's Letter About Rabbi Yitzi

Words of Wisdom from Rabbi Yitzi | June 27, 2025

“Dear Torah From My Eyes,

Two amazing young men stopped by last erev Shabbat and asked if l’d like to put on tefillin. They shared the incredible story of Rabbi Yitzi. They described him as a devoted father, a talented musician, and a beloved Chabad Rabbi. I gathered that despite what he faces physically, the tzaddik Rabbi Hurwitz - communicating solely through his eyes - continues to inspire countless people with his unwavering faith and positivity.

They told me it was his birthday, and his heartfelt wish was simple yet powerful: to see pictures of people donning tefillin.

It made me really happy to be able to do that and be a part of the good wishes from a holy man.

It showed me what true strength looks like— and here I was in fitness for many years, thinking all of my physical strength training made me strong!

May his inspiration continue to ripple across the world.”
