Rebbetzin Hadassah Gross

Rebbetzin Hadassah Gross is an international lecturer and motivational speaker with expertise in the Hebraic Oral Tradition, Hasidick teachings, and Practical Kabbalah. Hadassah is “radiant! An elegant creature in Italian shoes and tailored clothes” (The Forward) and has been identified as “part of a broadening, unconventional movement to teach Torah and prayer to an ever-growing audience across America” (Jerusalem Report). Born in Budapest, Hungary in the mid 1920’s, Rebbetzin Gross is descended from an illustrious Hasidic dynasty, is the widow of six prominent rabbis and has established herself in the Jewish community and beyond as a personal soul-trainer to the ultra-orthodox elite (and elitists from all faiths and backgrounds). She has appeared before thousands worldwide in venues such as BAMcafé, The Ashkenaz Festival for New Yiddish Culture (Toronto), The Museum of Jewish Heritage, JCC Manhattan, JCC San Francisco, Burning Man Festival 2003, Lansky Lounge (NYC), the Belt Theater (NYC), Echo Club (LA) and the Limmud NY Conference. Press and media appearances include a cover story for Ha’Aretz Magazine, and a principal role in the Channel 10 Israeli TV series “The Search for the 10 Commandments”.
