Yabloner Rebbe: His Own Brief Account

Check out our new series in partnership with SHARE, 18 Questions, 40 Jewish Mystics. 

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, originally released in 2021, we talk to Rabbi Pini Dunner and Rav Moshe Weinberger about the Yabloner Rebbe and his astounding story of teshuva.

The Yabloner Rebbe was a chassidishe rebbe who helped found Kfar Chassidim. He disappeared and went to Los Angeles, where he went off the derech, but he later returned to Judaism and Kfar Chassidim in a remarkable example of teshuva.

• Who was the Yabloner Rebbe?
• Why did he leave his faith?
• What inspired him to return?

Tune in to hear a conversation about the astounding story of the Yabloner Rebbe.
