Torahmedia Featured Speaker: Rabbi Paysach Krohn

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:22:08 +0000

As a writer and speaker, Rabbi Paysach Krohn specializes in finding unusual treasures. In his travels around the globe, he visits Jewish communities, meeting Jews of every walk of life, and gathers their personal stories of unusual occurrences, “coincidences,” and moments of inspiration that affected their lives. Gathering these precious insights, he weaves them into a colorful tapestry, interlaced with Torah wisdom and human warmth. In the tradition of a true maggid, he presents them to audiences who flock to his entertaining and uplifting lectures. Rabbi Krohn has authored the Artscroll publishers classic 6-volume Maggid series (from where much of this biography is borrowed). Also, as a certified mohel in the New York Area he has authored the anthology Bris Milah about the laws and customs of Circumcision.
