Rabbi Harvey Belovski's Posterous

Rabbi of the Golders Green Synagogue in London, rabbinic mentor for University Jewish Chaplaincy, teaching fellow at LSJS, lecturer, writer, rabbinical advisor, trouble-maker, and post-graduate philosophy student.

Curious about anything interesting, but particularly enthusiastic about unusual Torah thinkers, especially 19th- and early 20th-century Polish Chassidic leaders, notably the Rebbes of Przysucha, Kock, Izbica-Radzin and Sochaczew.

Trying hard to juggle being a husband, father, rabbi, teacher, iconoclast and independent thinker. Succeeding some of the time.
