About Rabbi Yussie Zakutinsky
Mara D’Asra of K’hal Mevakshei Hashem, Lawrence, NY
Rabbi Yussie Zakutinsky (Rav Mordechai Yosef Zakutinsky, shlit”a) is the Mara D’Asra of K’hal Mevakshei Hashem in Lawrence, New York — a kehilla of mevakshim, seekers, built around learning that goes deep and lands in real life. His name is also written Rabbi Yossi, Yossie, or Yosi Zakutinsky.
He learned in Yeshivas Shaar HaTorah, where he received semichah from the Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Kalman Epstein shlit”a. He is the author of Sefer Yam HaTefila, on the depths of davening, and Sefer Mei Moed, on the inner meaning of the Moadim, and he says Shiur in Kollel Emek HaMelech in Woodmere. He is known for taking the loftiest ideas in Chassidus and teaching them in a way that is warm, clear, and usable the same day.
The Shiurim on this site are the running sedarim of the kehilla since 2020: Likutey Moharan, the Komarna Rebbe’s Notzer Chesed and Nesiv Mitzvosecha, Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh, the parsha through the Kedushas Levi and the Chozeh of Lublin, Sefer Yehoshua and Sefer Shoftim, Ein Yaakov, THE 613, tefillah, and geulah.
