On the occasion of the 7th yartzeit of Rabbi Yehoshua B. Gordon obm, the website rabbigordon.com has been launched in his memory.
This website serves as a comprehensive hub of content, providing links to all resources related to Rabbi Gordon. These include his renowned popular daily study classes and a video series of “life lessons in 9 seconds.”
Rabbi Yehoshua B. Gordon, Head Shliach in the Valley in California, was a beloved Torah scholar, congregational rabbi and educator, who taught thousands of students around the globe through the world’s most widely viewed daily Torah classes.
A consummate rabbinic, communal leader, and executive director of Chabad of the Valley, Rabbi Gordon oversaw the establishment of a string of institutions, which have grown to 31 Chabad centers, including synagogues, Hebrew schools, adult-education institutes, summer camps and a host of other closely linked communal institutions.
In honor of Rabbi Gordon’s 7th Yartzeit on 29 Shevat, Shluchim of the valley united for an inspiring Farbrengen in his memory.

I listen to Rabbi Gordon’s chitas classes every day on my way to work. And I know many others who start their day with Rabbi Gordon as well. He has the zchus of so much Torah learning. It’s hard to believe that he’s gone for 7 years. To me he’s very much alive.
