Pini Dunner: The Rebbe Who Disappeared #shorts

The story of Yechezkel Taub, the Yabloner Rebbe, is almost impossible to believe: a revered leader who brought hundreds from pre-Holocaust Poland to help build Kfar Chassidim in pre-State Israel ...— only to vanish and resurface decades later in Los Angeles as George T. Nagel — living a completely secular life.
For 40 years, he left everything behind — until one moment changed everything.
The mystery of his “hidden years” was buried in a forgotten manuscript — until Rabbi Pini Dunner (@RabbiPiniDunner) spent two decades uncovering the truth, now told in his book, Paradise Cove: They Escaped the Cuckoo's Nest (@mosaicapressbooks)

The Rabbi Who Vanished: Finding the Yabloner Rebbe with Pini Dunner
How does a visionary Hasidic leader simply… vanish? In this episode of ...
How does a visionary Hasidic leader simply… vanish?
In this episode of Jewish Insights, Justin Pines sits down with historical detective and scholar Rabbi Pini Dunner to uncover a decades-old mystery, ...a secret identity, and a journey home.
Discover the unbelievable life of Yechezkel Taub (The Yabloner Rebbe)—a world-renowned leader who led hundreds of pioneers from pre-Holocaust Poland to found a village in pre-state Israel, only to vanish and reappear decades later as an 80-year old secular psychology student in Los Angeles.
He didn't just leave his village; he left his identity behind. For four decades, he lived anonymously in Southern California as George T. Nagel—a real estate developer and later a volunteer in a psychiatric facility.
The secret to his "hidden years" was buried in a forgotten manuscript titled Paradise Cove—until Rabbi Dunner spent twenty years hunting for the truth.
In this episode, we explore:
-The Visionary: The radical story of this unique "Hasidic Aliyah" and the founding of Kfar Hasidim.
-The Disappearance: Why a spiritual giant chose to walk away from his crown.
-The Manuscript: What a 1970s memoir about a Malibu psych ward reveals about a hidden Jewish soul.
-The Return: The emotional story of how the Rebbe returned to the land of Israel to face the community he left behind.
"Each person is an entire world." Join us for a conversation about identity, the weight of leadership, and the "Jewish spark" that can never truly be extinguished.
Get the Book: Paradise Cove: They Escaped the Cuckoo’s Nest by George T. Nagel (Edited by Rabbi Pini Dunner) - https://www.paradisecovebook.com/
About the Guest: Rabbi Pini Dunner is the Senior Rabbi of Beverly Hills Synagogue and a world-renowned expert on the "margins" of Jewish history. He is the author of Mavericks, Mystics & False Messiahs and the host of the hit series Rogues, Rascals and Rapscallions.
