Just a few years ago, I started listening and learning with Rabbi Gordon z"l here in Israel. I now try and hear them daily after davening - the daily parsha with Rashi. He was truly a brilliant mind, and a great speaker, peppering his explanations with modern references, and often his terrible 'cute' jokes. I say I started learning with him, and I do, despite his passing. He is alive here through his teaching, his learning and his personality. I wanted his Rebbetzin Deborah to know this, if anyone reading this could pass it on and let me know. Thanks, and as we are saying here, b'sorot tovot, Charles Golding, Ra'anana, Israel Reply

Just heard a shiur of rabbi Gordon for the first time in my life (which really helped me) and afterwards found out he passed a way a month ago i have no doubt he was a big tzadik since he is starting to have more influence now than when he was alive. Reply

Rabbi Gordon went one storey higher Thank you very much for this video full of positivity. "The presence of a righteous person is felt even more after his passing."
I will continue to learn with Rabbi Gordon online and retell other people the teachings, explanations and stories I heard from him. Rabbi Gordon's impact is eternal.
May Moshiach come speedily, in our days! Reply

Honoring Rabbi Gordon I just never thought that he would die. He was such a remarkable teacher, fun to listen to, able to instruct the teaching of Torah and Tanya in a special way. I remember asking on my comments for the teaching to be in Hebrew and English so that I would be able to learn the pronouciation in Hebrew, and did just that. I am very greatful. Thank you Rabbi for your compassion and understanding. B"H Reply

This really makes no sense for me.
I just don't accept the information.
I spent hundreds of hours listening to Rabbi Gordon and he became part of my life. Reply

Shalomyah I may never have known, heard from or about Rabbi Gordon. Nonetheless, I feel the very same sense of loss as you all do (having lost my mother at 59 just 4 months ago). My heartfelt condolences with the family, as I earnestly urge us to grieve, not as those who have no hope. Yahweh El gave, He has yet taken. Blessed be He.

To the família of R Gordon I wish that H' consoles you among all Am Isroel that needs consolation. R Gordon's classes were and are excellent and gave and give me support while I am leaving in Israel now without my books that I left in Brasil. Because of him I can still study Chumash and Tanya. There are no words for gratitude. That H' bless you all. Reply

I also would like to give my condolences to Rabbi Gordon's family . I loved his teachings I loved the way he would teach and how he was a very down to earth kind of person. I am not Jewish but I too love the Jewish people as so do many more that I know. May God bless you and comfort all who mourn for this wonderful teacher.

Rabbi Gordon I have been listening daily to Rabbi Gordon's Torah podcasts for the last year or so, and each day I look forward to hearing his wisdom, his clarity, his humor, and kindness. I cried today when I heard the news of his passing! May his memory be for a blessing, and my sincere condolences to his family and friends. Reply

Everyday Rabbi Gordon was such a great Rabbi I loved his classes, I attended his classes almost everyday!!!I just wish I had more time to learn from him and he made learning the Torah illuminating,interesting,elliptical at some moments.I really wouldn't of gone to school without the help of the local Jewish community,the Rebbe and Rabbi Gordon.I known we are fused as one now and may everything his offspring accomplish have righteousness and merit in Hashem book. אשרי עבדך התורה Reply
