Rabbi Eliezer Raphoel Brody
 
American-born Rabbi Eliezer Raphoel Brody is a popular speaker and broadcaster both in Israel and in North America. A Ba'al Teshuva, Rabbi "Lazer" Brody served in the Israel Army's elite special forces, and is the veteran of two wars and tens of antiterrorist missions. As such, a New York journalist nicknamed him "Rabbi Rambo".

When the Israel-Lebanon conflict erupted in 1982, he was among the first to be mobilized. While fighting in the streets of Beirut, he developed a burning spiritual thirst. Soon after the war, he left his farm on the Samarian ridge to study Torah in Jerusalem.

Rabbi Avraham Weitzhandler, the author of Siach Sarfei Kodesh and head of Meshech Hanachal, was instrumental in introducing Brody to Rebbe Nachman's teachings. After receiving his ordination by four major rabbinical courts in 1992, Brody devoted another two years of intensive study of Breslever Chassidus at the Breslever Kollel in Mea Shaarim. Brody then spent four years as meshamesh, or understudy, of the Melitzer Rebbe of Ashdod.

In 1998, Rabbi Sholom Arush, the Rosh Yeshiva of Chut Shel Chesed in Jerusalem, opened up a Breslever kollel in Ashdod, and appointed Rabbi Lazer Brody as the Rosh Kollel. Brody remained Rosh Kollel for four years. In 2002, he left the Kollel in order to devote his time to spreading Rebbe Nachman's teachings all over the globe.
In addition to being a popular speaker on several of Israel's Haredi radio stations, Rabbi Brody is an acclaimed personal and family counselor.

Brody's rare combination of Special-Forces experience, secular background, and simplicity of presentation have enabled him to spread Rebbe Nachman's teachings in places where listeners had previously refused to listen to a religious speaker, much less a Breslever Chassid. Brody's style is especially appealing to listeners from non-religious backgrounds and baal tsheva audiences.

Brody's first book, Pi Habe'er, is a contemporary commentary of Torah based on Rebbe Nachman's teachings. The book has been widely acclaimed, and has received the approbations of Rishon Le'Tzion Rabbi Ovadiah Yossef, the Bes Din of the Eda Haredis in Jerusalem, Rabbi Eliezer Berland, and others. His second book, Nafshi Tidom, is a unique guide to coping with bizionos, embarrassment and insult. Brody's third book, "The Trail to Tranquility", is slated to appear on North American bookshelves later this year.
