In a podcast interview, Rabbi Aaron Dovid Gancz – Shliach to Suffern, NY and a member of the Hanhala of Tomchei Temimim Morristown – shares his unique perspective on the Rebbe’s Chidushim, and Dor Hashvi’i, having come to it from a different background.
Having grown up in Williamsburg with a privileged upbringing, attending high-level yeshivas and studying Chassidus in a private family yeshiva, his journey to Chabad was not driven by rebellion or deficiency, but by the unique inspiration offered through the Rebbe’s teachings.
He recounts stories illustrating the Rebbe’s anivus and boundless love for every Jew, such as sitting among children in the shtiblach without a designated chair, and highlights the Rebbe’s innovative approach to shlichus, applying deep zeal to bring non-frum Jews closer rather than only strengthening those already committed.
The podcast episode is part of Among Chassidim: a Podcast by Derher. Hosted by Rabbi Yossi Kamman, director of A Chassidisher Derher, the podcast captures the vibrancy and vitality of dor hashvi’i through immersive, heartfelt discussions on meaningful topics, presented in raw, unedited conversations.
