Rabbi Joshua B. Gordon, obm, was one of the towering Shluchim (emissaries) of the Lubavitcher Rebbe of his time. Over the course of his 43 years of leadership of Chabad of the Valley, he oversaw the establishment of 26 Chabad Houses and became known throughout the world as a dynamic teacher of Torah through his “Rabbi Gordon Live” broadcasts.
In fitting tribute to Rabbi Gordon’s primary passion, a momentous International Sefer Torah Campaign has been launched – the proceeds of which will benefit The Rabbi Joshua B. Gordon Living Legacy Fund established to ensure the continuity of the programs he put into motion.
In addition to the great zechut (merit) of having letters in this historic Torah scribed in their (and/or their loved ones’) honor, dedicators will be partners in perpetuating the legacy of this legendary leader and teacher - in the most meaningful way.
In selecting a dedication category, participants are encouraged to be true to Rabbi Gordon’s motto: “THINK BIG!”
