Naftali Yehuda Horowitz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rabbi Naftali Yehuda Horowitz is an American chassidic Rabbi, son of Grand Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Horowitz, the Bostoner Rebbe, a scion of the Boston (Hasidic dynasty). Rabbi Horowitz, or Reb Naftuli as he is popularly known, has been the Rabbi of Congregation Beth Pinchas in Brookline, Massachusetts since 1980 when he was ordained by Bais Medrash Gevoha "Lakewood Yeshiva", in Lakewood, New Jersey and Tshebin Yeshiva of Jerusalem, Israel. He also serves as Director of R.O.F.E.H. - Reaching Out Funding Emergency Healthcare, a community based medical referral and hospitality liaison support agency founded by his father.
An acknowledged and accomplished Torah scholar, his combination of compassion for each and every Jew and his incisive mind and analytical skills make him much sought out as a counsellor. He is also widely known throughout the Jewish communities of Boston and New York as a highly skilled mohel, ritual circumsiser.
Congregation Beth Pinchas is part of the New England Chassidic Center, an umbrella organization providing religious and community services throughout the Boston area.
Rabbi Horowitz, a son-in-law of the late Uheler Rov Rabbi Shalom HaCohen Weiss, is related through the marriages of his children to many luminaries of the Chassidic world including the Slonimer and Sadigura Rebbes of Jerusalem together with the Mattesdorfer Rebbe and Unsdorfer Rov of New York. His elder brother HaRav Pinchos Dovid HaLevi is the Chuster Rov of Borough Park, Brooklyn and his sisters are married to the Vialopola Rebbe of Flatbush, Brooklyn and Dayan Moshe Chaim Geldzheler of Jerusalem.
