Nosson Nochum Englard


Rabbi Nosson Nochum Englard of Radzin-Yerushalayim was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Rabbi Yeshayahu Englard who was one of the Rabbonim of the Radomsker Shul in Brooklyn and the eldest son of Grand Rabbi Avrohom Yissochor Englard of Radzin. His mother is a daughter of Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Tewel, a Rav and Rosh Yeshiva in Poland and in the US. Englard studied at Yeshivas Novominsk under the leadership of Grand Rabbi Yaakov Perlow of Novominsk. Englard remained a very close disciple of Rabbi Perlow until the latter’s death in 2020.
Nosson Nochum shared a very close and unique relationship with his grandfather, Grand Rabbi Avrohom Yissochor Englard, the previous Rebbe of Radzin, being that he was his oldest grandson. Avrohom Yissochor spent much time teaching and learning with his grandson, training him in the ways of his heritage.
During the last years of Rabbi Avrohom Yissochor, Nosson Nochum was appointed to guide and lead the young generation of Radziner chassidim in. After the passing of his grandfather in 2005, Englard was appointed to be Rav of the Radziner shtiebel and the Radziner chassidim in Jerusalem. In 2009 he was also appointed to be the Rav of the new shtiebel in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York.
In addition to serving as Rav to the above-mentioned communities, Englard gives discourses in the Torah of Izhbitza-Radzyn dynasty. These lectures are usually given in the Radziner shtiebel in Jerusalem, although he travels to many yeshivos and communities throughout Israel and abroad with a goal to spread the Izhbitza-Radzin ideology to Jews of diverse backgrounds. Englard is well known to many from different sects and circles, and is known to have touched the lives of so many in many different ways.
