Biography
Rabbi Ginsburgh was born in the USA. In his youth he studied mathematics and philosophy. While in America he became a baal teshuva, and devoted himself to Torah study. In 1965 he immigrated to the Land of Israel and learned in the Yeshivah of Kamenitz in Jerusalem. He spent 1966 through 1967 (including the Six Day War) in Tiberias. After the Six Day War, Rabbi Ginsburgh returned to Jerusalem, and there, along with his future father-in-law, Rabbi Moshe Segal, was one of the first to move into the Jewish quarter. At that time he came to study writings of the Chabad school of Chassidus in depth. That year he visited the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, and remained there for several months. When he returned to the Land of Israel he married, and began to teach Talmud, Shulchan Aruch, and Chassidus to a group of students in Jerusalem.
Until the retreat of the IDF from the Tomb of Joseph in Shechem during the Al Aksa Intifada (2001), he served as the Rosh Yeshivah of the Od Yosef Chai Yeshivah in Shechem and as the head of the Kollel in Jericho.
He lives with his family in Kfar Chabad and delivers classes throughout the Land of Israel. He devotes most of his time and resources to writing books in Kabbalah and Chassidus that discuss a range of topics, from commentaries on the Chumash to the relationship between Torah and science. These books are published by Gal Einai, his organization, whose name is taken from Psalms 119:18.
