Paysach Krohn - Biography

Paysach J. Krohn (born January 29, 1945 – Tu Bishvat) is an Orthodox Jewish rabbi and a noted author, mohel, and lecturer on topics related to ethics and spiritual growth.

Biography

He is a fifth-generation mohel, and is followed by both his son and son-in-law. He lives in Kew Gardens, Queens, New York with his wife. His five children are married.

Several of his works are in regards to his relationship with the "Maggid of Jerusalem," Rabbi Sholom Schwadron. Krohn also leads tours throughout Europe, speaking about the rich and vibrant Jewish communities that existed prior to World War II.

In December 2004 Rabbi Krohn launched the organization PaL (Phone and Learn) in the United Kingdom when speaking at the thirty day memorial service for a well-respected London chinuch activist, Sammy Homburger. PaL, a division of Partners in Torah in the USA, matches Jews who want to learn more about their heritage with a friendly, knowledgeable tutor for up to an hour a week of Jewish study and discussion over the phone. The dynamic organization has seen tremendous success since its inception and continues to inspire people throughout the UK, Europe and the world.

Along with Esther Jungreis, Krohn has served as a guest speaker at the annual Shavuot retreat hosted by Gateways since 2005.
