Igael Gurin-Malous

Rabbi Igael "Iggy" Gurin-Malous is a renowned Talmud teacher, spiritual counselor, artist, and educator. He grew up between Belgium, Israel (so expect him to be well-dressed and blunt) and the United States in a traditional Jewish Orthodox home. He is a frequent author, speaker, teacher, and contributor on subjects ranging from Talmud, Jewish text, spirituality, addiction, recovery, fatherhood, and LGBTQIA+ issues.

Today he is the founding rabbi and CEO of T'shuvah Center, a new long-term Jewish recovery community in NYC. He was formerly the director of spiritual counseling at Beit T'Shuvah in Los Angeles. He is also Temple Israel of Hollywood Talmud scholar in residence, teaching weekly classes on Interpreting Talmud. Rabbi Iggy also serves on the board and faculty at the Academy of Jewish Religion of California.
