Rabbi Gershon Winkler was born in Denmark in 1949. He was ordained as a rabbi by the late Kabbalistic Master Rabbi Eleizer Bentsion of Novhordok (Russia) in Jerusalem. Gershon Winkler is a widely recognized scholar in the fields of Jewish law, lore, history, theology, and mysticism. Gershon is a charismatic teacher whose lifestyle is as unconventional as is his mindset. His non-mainstream exploits have won him media recognition, including a front page feature in the Wall Street Journal, a segment on the PBS series Religion and Ethics Newsweekly, and detailed coverage in Israel’s Ha’aretz, Chayyim Acherim Magazine, and The Jerusalem Post. Gershon has also served as spiritual teacher and life-cycle facilitator for Jewish communities across New Mexico, Colorado, and Montana.
In 1997, he founded the Walkingstick Foundation a nonprofit organization dedicated to the recovery and preservation of indigenous Jewish spirituality — currently headquartered in Southern California.
