Chairman of Chinuch Atzmai Interviewed for JEM Video
A fascinating relationship between the Rebbe and Rabbi Yosef Leizerson, the Chairman of Chinuch Atzmai (the independent religious education system in Israel), was just discovered in a recent interview for JEM’s My Encounter with the Rebbe project.
In the interview, Rabbi Leizerson talks about his extensive relationship that he had with the Rebbe for over 20 years.
He first met the Rebbe in the 1970s when he came to the Rebbe to discuss a variety of issues in Israel’s education system.
Over the years, Rabbi Leizerson held a wide range of jobs, ranging from the System Administrator for “Agudas Yisroel,” to the various public functions as a member of the Jerusalem City Council, as well as his duties as a senior member of Chinuch Atzmai.
In the interview, he also discussed the interesting relationship the Rebbe had with his late uncle, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, OBM.
In this week’s Living Torah, Rabbi Leizerson is featured, discussing an amazing story of Ruach Hakodesh with the Rebbe.

Another amazing example of the Rebbes lasting effect on humanity.
Suffice to stay that the Rabbi relaying this story stayed working in communal
affairs. Amazing story. Niskarim vnasim.
I recently heard from a friend who is now about 60 years old the following.
He went into yechidus when he was about 20 and he had some decisions to make what
to do in life. The Rebbe helped him by telling him “people know what they have to do in
Life, but they fool themselves ”. Vdai lemaveen
