I attend classes with Rabbi Gordon. He has a gift of teaching. He has taught me so much and in a way that brings one closer to the Torah and Judaism.
He also is gifted with a wonderful sense of humor.

I'm really excited about this shuir, it was great yesterday! But today I couldn't make it and was surprised that it was only live! I'm sure many are like me that want to be able to listen to it throughout the day. Keep it up Chabad.org, keep it coming!

Rabbi, I am enjoying the shuir lessons that you are teaching. Today was my first Chumash lesson. I listened to it three times! Wishing you many blessings for continued health, and joy.

Happy birthday Rabbi Gordon, this was a wonderful idea to have the class on line.

Happy Birthday Rabbi Gordon.
Thank you very much for this on line Chumash and Tany study. It is a great beginning to the day.
|
Wonderful to see and hear you live on chabadofthevalley.com. You teach great Chumash and Tanya. You are the best!!!
We wish you a very Happy Birthday with many happy, healthy and blessed returns of the day for you, Rabbi Gordon.

From a Gentile in South Africa. I listen to you almost daily (finance permitting). You are really great and bring so much alive to me.
May G-d bless you and keep you with us for a long time.
|
Thank you so much Rabbi Gordon for your invested time and efforts. May G-d continue to give you many blessings for doing such a good work and teaching Torah.
|
Sometimes if I concentrate I can understand Rabbi Gordon - however, since I do not know Hebrew his frequent reference to the Hebrew words makes is hard for me to comprehend.
My favorite teachings right now are Psychology of the Soul...by Rabbi Ben Tzion Krasnianski. I have watched Studying Torah two times and will do that with the subject Arrogance, and all the lectures. ...amazing... Outstanding and easier to follow.

I attended Rabbi Gordon's class late this morning. There was unusual traffic on the streets of Los Angeles due to the thousands of people driving to Michael Jackson's funeral. This caused me to be tardy for shuir.
In the past it was very difficult to join Rabbi Gordon's class while in session as one missed moments and minutes of Chumash and Tanya.and Rabbi Gordon's brilliant explanation.
Baruch Hashem, I am now able to return home and listen to the daily class on computer. I was able to listen to the beginning of the class that I missed....and continued to listen until the end causing me to learn even more.
May all who cannot physically attend a class by Rabbi Gordon have the opportunity to sign in on line.
May all hospitals have this available for patients.
May all homes for the aged have this available.
May the Department of Corrections have this available for prison inmates.
May schools have this incorporated into their curricula.
And the list goes on.....Baruch Hashem

i use to live in tarzana and attend the week study with rabbi gordon, when i left the state the hardest thing for me was not to participate at the morning class with rabbi gordon. thank g-d now i get my learning back every day that i've missed so much.
we love you dearly and miss you very much.

This is in response to the person from MN who has trouble understanding the Hebrew references R. Gordon makes during his Chumash/Tanya class. What can be very helpful to me is a online Chassidut Glossary and a Kabbalah Terms resource also on line.
|
There is one on chabad.org. www.chabad.org/glossary
But instead of looking through the glossary, sometimes I find it quicker to just search for a term in the search box if I can figure out how to spell it.
|
I just found this and am loving the learning!
Thank you
|
We LOVE Rabbi Gordon's style. He makes learning fun and interesting. My husband and I enjoy and look forward to watching each day.
Thank you Rabbi Gordon, keep up the GREAT work! We are grateful for the Internet broadcasts.
|
I've been waiting for a class like this. It is amazing and has changed my life. Thank you.
|
Love to join your class daily here in Bklyn. I look forward to your very clear and interesting explanations and I am thrilled to do my Chitas this way! Thank you!
|
The shiurim from Rabbi Gordon are wonderful.
But the latest shiurim (8/18, 8/19) from the young Rabbi are extra ordinary! What a wonderful delivery explaining deep concepts.
May Hashem grant both of you htzlacha!
|
The rabbi from August 20 gave a great class! So interesting to listen to.
|
What a great resource! I have just found these videos and am now watching every day.
|
This might answer some questions I have about Asiyah. For this direction has opened several doors that were shut to me before.
|

|
Thank G-d for Chabad and R' Yehoshua helping teach any that G-d has brought to this time and place.
|
A wonderful beginning for all Jews, especially for those who think that Mamma, Ma, Momi or Mai would forget any of her brood.
|

we miss his class.
there is nothing like the genuine article!
|
wow i listen to Rabbi Gordon's parsha class. Despite of how fast he teaches, i benefit and like it so much. but today's tanya lesson was so hard for me to understand. How can i get the answers of all my everyday questions?
|
You can feel free to write your questions to our experienced rabbis and rebbetzins of the Ask the Rabbi team, via chabad.org/asktherabbi.
|
Thank you for your kind comments re: my class. As far as your question is concerned, you have brilliant and very knowlegable Chabad Rabbis in the Torrance area -- Rabbi Eli Hect and Rabbi Pinson, who are more than qualified to answer your Tanya questions. The Alter Rebbe in his introduction to Tanya speaks about the importance of people turning to the loacl scholars in their community to resolve questions on the subject.
With blessings,
Rabbi Yehoshua B. Gordon
Encino, CA

Hello! I just watched your web cast during my lunch from my office. I just wanted to say thank you for doing this... The tanya lesson was very good and gave fantastic perspective on why Jews treat other jews differently.
Looking forward to tuning in again tomorrow.
|
Rabbi, thank you for the parasha and Tania lessons. Also i appreciated your response to my questions. thank G-d. as you said we have a very knowledgeable Rabbi in our community and G-d willing i will get help for better understanding of tania. thank you.
|
Absolutely enlightening- am unable to describe with more words; its much more than "absolutely enlightening", changing my life, my Torah study, can understand more, and with spice of humor enlivening/like simcha (joy) in our study to smile and vitalize.
|
I would like to thank you for being tough and broadcasting for all of us that can not show up to class. I would think this kind of teaching is not easy to do. I pray that G-d has granted your portion of the Torah for your great teaching efforts,Todah to you Rabbi Gordon.
|
would you consider putting the Chumash and Tanya titles or pages so that we could follow you better? toda
|
I go to shul with this man's son! Wow, cool!
