Happiness is self fulfillment. If a person neglects fulfilling any capacity or trait that he has, there is an inherent feeling of unhappiness

[ Rabbi Dr. Avraham J. Twerski ]

Rabbi Twerski

Rabbi Dr. Avraham J. Twerski

In the span of his decades-long career, Rabbi Dr. Avraham Twerski zt”l became renowned as a respected and beloved figure, who revolutionized the Torah world and its approach to mental health.
Today, Rabbi Twerski’s pioneering life’s work and teachings are more relevant than ever. How to inculcate self-esteem in ourselves and in our children. How to discover the beauty and G-dliness in every individual. So many today are thirsting for the knowledge, based on timeless Torah wisdom and modern-day psychological research, that Rabbi Twerski imparted.
Unfortunately, this humble giant of a man is no longer with us, and the Jewish community is still reeling from his loss.
Yet, his teachings live on.  Through the new global Avraham J. Twerski Learning Center, his mission of inspiring personal growth and enhancing communal mental health will continue to build future generations.
