Who is Rabbi Kessin?
- Rabbi Mendel Kessin got S’michah by Rabbi Moshe Feinstein. R’ Mendel was also very close to Rav Chaim Friedlander Zatza”l, and helped with the publication of his Sifrei Haramchal (green collection).
- He has a PhD in Psychology from Fordham University in NY and runs a private practice in Brooklyn and Lakewood.
- Rabbi Kessin is an internationally known lecturer and educator that has spoken extensively throughout the world including the United States, Europe, South Africa, Canada and Israel among other places on Hashkafa, Learning Methodology and Shmiras Haloshon with emphasis on the writings of R’ Moshe Chaim Luzzatto (Ramchal).
- The Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation was started as a result of being inspired by one of R’ Mendel’s Loshon Horah Shiurim.
- R’ Mendel was also the featured speaker at one of the first Tisha Beav video events. People still remember that lecture that was distributed on 200,000 tapes!
- Rabbi Kessin is also one of the few teachers that lectures extensively on the learning methodology of the Ramchal which allows a person to significantly improve his understanding of Gemara, Mishna and Halacha.
- The learning methodology advanced by R’ Mendel is based on several of the Ramchal’s Seforim, and is an amazing tool to analyze, structure and synthesize any Limud. It’s impossible to overstate the benefits of this efficient way of learning and remembering for our generation.
- Rabbi Kessin has never faced Internet directly, and is not planning to change this practice, in fact he probably doesn’t know how Internet looks like, so in case you would like to get in touch with him, just request his phone number by emailing to the address below…

THANK YOU!! Tizke l’mitzvos!
My wife assurd the Kessin shiurim I found on YouTube because we don’t allow YouTube – even though she sees how much their shiurim have impacted my learning for the past 3 years. This blog/site is a huge chessed and the mp3’s an even bigger one. Please let me know when the mp3’s will be available.
This is not youtube! Videos on this blog have nothing to do with youtube! it should be mutar!
Dear Rabbi Kessin,
Do you have an email address where I could email you?
R Kessin doesn’t use Internet at all, but if you email here I will print it out and give it to him
Thank you
Please extend my wishes for a wonderful 5777 to Rabbi Kessin and ask him to give me his phone number. I don’t have a correct phone number.
I am a old student of his

Thank you very much for these shiurim. I had never heard of Rabbi Kessin before but just listened to one of his methodology shiurim. Loved it and plan on bli neder listening to a lot more! Will be sharing these insights on how to learn when learning with my children. By the way, does Rav Kessin have any sheets with his checklists that can be printed?
Thank you very much again and tizku lemitzvos.
No, nothing has been printed yet. Unfortunately…
Where is the shiur from motzei shabbos 7/31/16?
will be published in a few days. delayed due to technical reasons.
I would love to download the old shiurim from 1980-2000 but cannot figure out how to. I would appreciate any help you can give me .

i’ve figured out how to enable downloads, but it’s time consuming – have to do it one at a time and each one takes quite a few clicks and screens… anyway, this will be done – might take a couple of days, as i find a few minutes here and a few minutes there… sorry for a delay.
Rabbi Kessin stated that he did 18+ – tapes on Jacob and Esau where can I find them?
Also is there a parallel between Hilary Clinton, Trump & Jezabel, Jehu
Check the “Content” menu, there is R’ Mendel Kessin [1980-2000] section – audio only – they are right there. In yesterday’s shiur (8/27/2016) he mentioned specific NUMBERS of those shiurim, but I can’t recall the numbers now. All those shiurim for the years 1980-2000 are numbered from 1 to 109. if you listen to the yesterday’s one, just pay attention at the numbers R’ Mendel brings. Otherwise you could just see the descriptions, i am almost sure you can find them just by browsing the whole list.
