Rabbi Yekusiel Green (יקותיאל גרין) (1954-2022 / 5704-5782) was a mashpia in Kfar Chabad, and the author of dozens of books elucidating the teachings of Chassidus, most notably the Tanya.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
Rabbi Yekusiel Green was born in Ramat Gan to his parents, Dovid and Sarah Green. His father was not a chassid, while his mother was the daughter of the chassid R’ Chaim Moshe Alperovitz. His parents enrolled him in the Talmud Torah in Kfar Chabad and he later studied at Yeshivat Hadarom in Rechovot and at Yeshiva Tomchei Tmimim Chabad in Lod. In 1964 (5724), he traveled by ship to the United States to study at the Central Yeshiva Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights. Following his return to Israel, he married Rochel Levin, daughter of R’ Binyomin Levin, one of the founders of Kfar Chabad. At the Rebbe’s instruction, the couple settled in the village, where Rabbi Green would spend the rest of his life teaching, writing, and guiding others. After a year in kollel, Rabbi Green began his educational career. He taught at the Yeshiva in Lod, at Kfar Chabad’s vocational school (Beit Sefer L’Melacha), and at the Beis Rivkah Seminary for girls. He was involved in organizing “Chabad evenings” in Israeli kibbutzim to share teachings of Chassidus and performed Chabad music for largely secular audiences. Rabbi Green authored over 30 works addressing a wide range of Chabad themes and works, including on Tanya (in a 14 volume set) and various maamarim including Basi LeGani. Rabbi Green passed away on Thursday, 2 Adar I, 5782, at the age of 78.[1]
