About Rabbi Yossi Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Serebryanski is known simply as "Rabbi Yossi." Underlying his gentle and easy personality is a complexity of understanding and analysis of Torah and creation that brings joy, warmth and clarity to those who immerse themselves in his teachings. A true friend and confidant to the thousands who turn to him weekly for guidance and wisdom, Rabbi Yossi is renowned for his compassion and open heart to all who enter his scope. Born in Melbourne, Australia, Rabbi Yossi reaped the benefits of being raised in a selfless family that was dedicated to living and spreading the riches and values of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. His education was enhanced by the many esoteric teachings that are inherent in the Chassidic understanding of the Creator's universe. As a child he acquired the skills that he later used to research and unravel answers to questions which are often given pat and insufficient responses. His inquisitive and exacting nature led him to many answers that were, apparently, in plain sight and yet undiscovered. The methodology for his work lies in his expertise in understanding of the precise meanings of Hebrew words and the complexity and values of the letters that form those words. By "getting down to the basics" we find that there are straightforward meaningful interpretations that were often bypassed in favor of the theoretical and popular inventions of mankind. Rabbi Yossi is a teacher, lecturer, mashgiach, author, spiritual healer, professional counselor and guide. In his personal life he is "Yossi" - a keen perceptual and loving friend.
