The Life of Rabbi Josh Gordon in Photos
As we approach the Shloshim since the passing of Rabbi Yehoshua Gordon, OBM, Head Shliach of California’s San Fernando Valley, Lubavitch Archives presents a look through his life through the prism of photos.
A talented speaker, educator and communicator, Rabbi Gordon led, together with his wife Debra, Chabad in the Valley, California, to include a vast network of 26 Chabad Houses.
Rabbi Gordon established a reputation as a great teacher and lecturer, mentor and orator, and was especially known for his wit, wisdom and humor.

For so long I promised myself to listen to his on-line shiurim. And then, upon seeing the news of his petirah, I resolved to learn with him every day. And, BH, so it has been. Chumash and Tanya. Sometimes I remember that his physical being is no longer here, and it is painful. However, most of the it doesn’t register this way: Rabbi Gordon is alive and teaching in just the kind of way that I can stick it out. And, of course, I am treated with the quips and stories. Gordon family: I am so sorry for your loss, and sorry for klal Yisroel for our loss. May we be reunited with our loved ones, soon.
