- A hasidic rabbi and psychiatrist who championed treatment for substance abuse and was the author of more than 80 books on subjects both spiritual and scientific.
He inspired people for decades as one of this generation’s most eminent psychiatrists, focusing on the area of self-improvement. A rabbi and frequent lecturer on a broad range of topics including spirituality and self-esteem, he was the author of many books including Waking Up Just in Time and The Spiritual Self: Getting Up When You’re Down. He was the founder and medical director emeritus of Gateway Rehabilitation Center.
In this episode, we sat down with his grandchildren, Chaim Twerski & Chaya Ruchie Waldman, as well as a recovering addict named Judah.

Rabbi Dr. Twerski of Blessed Memory has been and continues to be source of great support in these troubled times.
Dr. Twerski was my neighbor in Pittsburgh, living across the street. From any perspective, he was a remarkable person.
I never met him but got to listen to his short Meaningful YT video’s. His words and way of expression touched me profoundly. They supported me spiritually during difficult times. Thank you for this interview. From France with love and support.
Grew up in pgh yet met Rabbi T in his Monsey home in 1998 when building project to help adhd kids with eeg Neurofeedback. He wrote me a letter emphasizing the importance of this modality for helping kids. Generation to generation about his illustrious family is a book everyone needs to read and absorb. No one can capture the greatness he radiated. I regret not having followed him around to learn his clinical manner from him. He was a man for all humanity to learn from and being Rebbishe frum and a Gaon (hear Rav beryl Weil’s heaped). Because he was Holy his impact should be far greater than Jordan Peterson on the entire world.
Amazing Rabbi.
Baruch Hashem, amazing Rabbi
An absolute legend that he was. A very special person
P.s. that song is legendary!
beautiful! thank you for sharing and interviewing his grandchildren as well as Judah!
incredible!
Non Jewish living in other part of the world and when I heard the Rabbi death I was destroyed....I was fascinated by the his kindness and personality !May God take good care of him where he is now!
He write a story in how to get up when u r down about how he experienced depression as a side effect from an antihistamine he needed to take and he wrote that he was so grateful that he experienced depression because this gave him a way to have firsthand understanding of the suffering of his clients. I think he added that otherwise he could not grasp their struggle and that he needed this to be able to connect with their struggle and help them.
Sadly in most respects he had no understanding of what goes on in the trenches because his whole life he didn't really mingle with others in the trenches being so exotic.
מאכזב רציתי לשמוע אותו
❌⭕
Part 2: and now that I am older of course it wasn't becuase I had "low self esteem" my parents for various reasons used me the scapegoat and I was an easy target. In one exchange a Rabbi wrote to Rabbi Twerski that he want from job to job as Rabbi and every job he ended up having problems with the board. Rabbi Twerski's response of course that somehow he was projecting "low self esteem". Of course shuls blaming the Rabbi may not be the Rabbis fault. So again Rabbi Twerskis response could lead to violence as they have to show the other person they don't have low self esteem. It is absurd.
I have a negative view of Rabbi Abraham Twerski. He has plenty of family to defend him. When I was 20 years old I bought his book I am I. I had serious family problems. His solution to every problem was "low self esteem" and he blamed the victim because they had low self esteem and it made me think I had to act like a machir because my parents always picked on me.
