R’ Mendel, how did you discover this “intuitive” or “empathic” healing powers?
For many years, my wife and I had no children. We went to all kinds of doctors, including highly recommended experts on alternative medicine. A homeopath noticed I could sense the effects of the remedies he was suggesting, and asked whether I could sense details about him and his family. With great reluctance, I described what came to mind, and he said I was right on target.
How did you feel about it?
I was the biggest skeptic! I come from a rational, intellectual background. But I began to see it was true; I really could discern things about people, feel the root of their problems and how they might be helped.
Did you notice this ability before?
Actually, throughout my life, I seemed to pick up on people’s moods or feel their aches and pains, without realizing what it was. I didn’t realize it was the states of other people that I was experiencing. I thought it was me.
That must have been strange…
It was indeed confusing. I understood various situations intuitively, but learned not to talk about it, because others laughed at me: How could a youngster know things that required real life experience? So I learned to keep my mouth shut.
When did you start actually developing this talent, instead of hiding it?
That homeopath asked for my help in order to get a better reading of some of his clients. Sometimes he asked me to use my energy to “deliver” a remedy to them.
How does this work in practice?
When I “tune in” to people, I sense things about them. I might see an image, or actual words run through my mind. Sometimes I just “know” something – I have no idea from where. For instance, I may see a place or object, or feel some emotion.
What sort of problems can you help?
I’ve helped with all sorts of problems: health, emotional issues, shalom bayis, chinuch, parnassa and business decisions, and many shidduchim issues. Of course, if it’s a serious health issue, I tell them to visit a doctor, as well.
When you get a call, how do you approach the issue?
My approach is two-fold: First, I ask the person to describe his or her problem in brief. Then I “tune in” to see what might be causing it. Even if it’s a health issue, sometimes it has a psychological or emotional basis.
Can’t you tell automatically what the problem is?
I could, in theory, but people may have several issues, and it’s best when they tell me which one to focus on. Also, using intuition requires mental energy, which I would rather save for addressing the problem itself.
What comes next?
After identifying the source of a problem, I get a sense of how to fix it.
And how do fix it? What do you do in actuality?
It can be any of a few options. It could be as simple as recommending a change in routine or advice that an outsider might think of commonsense. Often I feel something is wrong in the tefilin or mezuzos, so I advise getting them checked by an expert sofer. Or I focus energy on a problem to correct it.
A spiritual technique?
No. I don’t feel that my intuition itself is ruchnius and never did any training or took any courses or studied “healing.” Rather it’s an ability to “pick up” and understand reality, like radio waves traveling to a cell phone – definitely something physical, not spiritual. Various themes discussed in Chassidus may make this easier to understand, but the actual ability is not necessarily spiritual.
Have you had Halachic concerns?
I have asked Rabbonim whether I may use this ability and talent. Those of them familiar with the concept told me I’m allowed to use it, especially in order to help people. However, I try to keep away from sensing the future, as that can get complicated from a Halachic point of view.
Do you have reservations about giving advice on what to do about serious matters?
Naturally, dealing with serious personal issues is a huge responsibility, and I can’t honestly accept responsibility for people’s life decisions. I can only ask leading questions, give suggestions and encouragement, and hope to point people in a good direction.
For example, a client once traveled overseas, where he checked out certain properties with an eye to investment. He called me – giving the places nicknames, because I don’t need addresses – and I told him something bothered me about one property, which seemed to be on the border between neighborhoods. My client returned to check on it in the evening and discovered that, although it was in a good neighborhood, it was close to a bad one, and at night it became a noisy hangout, with music blasting and neighbors complaining the noise disturbed their sleep. When he told me about another place, I felt it to be full of sunshine, with young couples moving in, a neighborhood that was up and coming. He found that too to be true.
But wouldn’t anyone with real estate buying experience have noticed all that?
Indeed, and many of my ideas turn out to be plain common sense. The difference is that for an expert in the field it’s common sense, while with me it’s pure intuition. Besides, that investor lived far from those places, so he wouldn’t have time to check them thoroughly. He might have missed the clues, so he was glad he had asked me.
How many people have approached you for advice?
Over the 10 years I’ve been doing this, I’ve probably had thousands of cases, including thousands involving tefilin and mezuzos. I have helped many, many members of the worldwide Lubavitcher community, as anyone can ascertain by asking around. My clients have included prominent rabbonim from communities around the world and mashpiim. Rabbi Manis Friedman, for example, has referred people to me.
How much time do you spend with clients?
Usually it’s up to the individual. Some need just a few minutes, especially if they get straight to the point and immediately follow my advice, in which case they soon see results. Others need more time, particularly if they don’t immediately follow my advice, in which case they’ll keep coming back. I also work over the phone, which adds a layer of privacy and helps people feel more at ease. After discussing the problem with them, I may continue thinking about them, sending them “energy” to help with the problem. At the beginning of Likutei Diburim, the Rebbe RaYYaTz explains that thinking about someone can help him.
What is your success rate?
Boruch Hashem, I have been blessed with abundant success. I’ve never taken the time to measure it in exact numbers, but great numbers of people feel they have been helped and their problems resolved. The fact that I get many referrals from previous clients is the best testimony.
Can you give examples of your success?
I have hundreds of stories, some of them really amazing.
A teenager once told me his ankle gave him constant severe pain, for which he needed an operation. From across the table, I focused energy on him for a few minutes, and he told me the pain was getting less and less, until it disappeared. When I met him a year later, he told me the pain had never returned, and he no longer needed any operation.
At a L’chaim [engagement party], I had a farbrengen with some bochurim. One mentioned that he suffered from gout, which caused him constant acute pain in his leg. For a few minutes, I focused energy on him and the pain disappeared. He was skeptical about it and didn’t believe he would long remain free of pain. But when I met him again over a year later, he reported that, “strangely enough,” the pain had never returned!
A few years ago, a man aged around 60 was limping painfully. He had had a knee-cap replacement, and needed another one on his other knee. I focused energy on his problem several times, at personal meetings and during phone conversations. Since then, his pain has disappeared and he hasn’t needed a replacement for his other knee.
Give us an example about tefilin.
One man often experienced sudden blackouts, causing him to lose consciousness, fall down and get hurt. It wasn’t epilepsy, said his doctors, but they didn’t know what else it could be. As I spoke to him, an image of tefilin came into my mind, then the kesher of the shel rosh [knot of the head tefilin]. I asked whether he placed the kesher on the correct part of the head. He replied that he did, but added that, six years earlier – which happened to be when his problem started, of course – someone in shul, not a Rov or sofer but just a well-meaning person, had told him to change where he placed it. I advised him to check with an expert. As soon as he changed back to his original placement of the kesher, his blackouts stopped. That was the first time I advised resolving a problem by ensuring correct observance of tefilin or mezuzos.
So it was your mind’s image of the kesher that helped resolve his problem?
Yes. People may not realize that problems with tefilin and mezuzos involve more than just the written text.
For example, the Alter Rebbe (in his Shulchan Aruch and Siddur) points out a common problem: In the lower area of the tefilin shel rosh, glue is used to keep the parts of the bayis together. But often, while the tefilin are being formed and the glue is still wet, it can spread upwards between the four compartments, where it can render the tefilin non-kosher. In my experience, about 70% of tefilin have this problem, and most soferim aren’t trained how to check for it and fix it.
Also, the batim of tefilin have to be perfectly square, but many are not, and not all soferim always check for this. Also a small scratch in the black paint of some parts of the retzuos [tefilin straps] can be very serious.
Another problem with tefilin and mezuzos is with the two tagin [short vertical lines attached to a letter] on top of every lamed letter. According to Halacha, the tag on the right should extend slightly higher than the left one. Kabala explains the underlying reason for this: The right tag represents chessed [kindness] and should therefore be higher than the left one, which represents gevura [severity or judgment], in order to ensure that the flow of Divine kindness overwhelms any possible “judgments.”
A lot of soferim usually don’t look for this problem unless specifically asked to do so, because it’s time-consuming. But when it’s not fixed, it can have a negative effect on the wearer and his loved ones. In fact, every detail of tefilin can affect not only the wearer but his wife, young sons and unmarried daughters.
Often I advise someone to recheck even several times for problems with tefilin and mezuzos, because, as in any other field, not all soferim are equally thorough.
Can you give an example of a case about shidduchim.
A certain girl was already beyond the usual age for shidduchim, yet nothing was moving for her. I asked if their home had a balcony. Yes, and their balcony had two sets of doors. I advised bringing a Rov to check whether the mezuzos were placed correctly. He found them to be on the wrong sides of the doors. They were changed, and the girl became engaged within a few months.
Placement of mezuzos can make a huge difference for shidduchim, health and other areas. When an expert is invited into homes to check on mezuza placement, he finds problems in over 90% of homes, in my experience.
What advice would you give people in general?
People often create their own problems through excessive worry and fear. My intuitive energy approach can help with that, but I also advise people to increase their emuna and bitochon in Hashem. When negativity is removed, healing takes place, parnassa flows, health blossoms, and relationships heal. As the Zohar says, “When someone is happy, it opens up all the Divine sources Above.”
Thanks for speaking with us
It is my pleasure. I can be reached at TheHelpingRabbi.com
This is legitimate just as Meditation is healing And the Rebbe spoke in a Sicha about these!
Everyone e has Healing power, Take what you can, and what you can not accept YOu may Question,
Just to mention to you you all two short stories. My husband had pain in his foot, when Mendel was behind him and said to him your foot is hurting, stay were you are, he gave him positive energy and B”h the pain never returned. My husband never mentioned to him that he was in pain, he felt it. we asked him about a name for a shidduch and he said he doesn’t see there is any positive energy. We knew it wasn’t for us. There will always be people who will mock others. He can only help those that… Read more »
I know many people who could easily do this, including myself perhaps. The art of facial diagnosis is a real science in some parts of the world. People who have studied this can look at your face, eyes, ears, body posture, and can see what organs are ailing or what you are lacking in your diet. What he seems to be blessed with is of a different nature. I mentioned Theta Brain Waves already. If he brings help and comfort to people, he should continue using it for good–withing context.
Welcome to the club of intuitive healers. I know many who were born with this gift, including myself. It is a result of stimulated Theta brain wave activity. Most people are only tuned into Alpha & Beta. Fascinating he can charge so much and people pay it–that’s the real miracle!
70% of teffilins are not Kosher!!! IS THIS TRUE???
bottom line if he’s helped and can help people……
Bring five random people to the healer with different known medical issues. Identify each person only by number and make certain that he has never met any of them before. He may not ask any questions but merely examines each one with his power only, no other information or conversation. Then present him the five conditions, and have him match each one to the correct patient. If he can repeat this 10 times, successfully hitting an average of 4 out of 5, maybe he’s on to something.
the web site is down do to traffic i got tel # 917-300-9355
good luck!
1-917 300-9355
wat is the number to reach him? i cant get on his website?
I, too, am a healer. In fact, I just healed everyone who read this article. If you would like to compensate me for my time and effort spent healing you all, please send money to my paypal at [email protected].
Thanks. I hope to heal more of you in the future.
I come from a family of spiritual healers. [My grandmother met with the freideker Rebbe, and they discussed her healing powers, although I dont know what was said.] And one member of my family went off the deep end due to it, and messed over a lot of people with his downfall. I must say it became cult like. I have since cut off all contact with the 6th sense. The Rebbe has clear letters on these issues and advises “Tamim Tihyeyh Im Havayah Elokecha” Be straight with G-d and do not search for supernatural ways of healing. The Rebbe… Read more »
the ‘helping rabbi” needs to help himself! His website is down due to excess traffic….

There is a very well known nutritionist in Boro Park who treats many people from Corwn Heights, Boro Park… Her name is Naomi Feldman
It is interesting to me that you believe unprovable or unseen things exist, and that you accept many of these in your faith. Yet someone has had certain sensitivities about people and utilizes this gift to benefit others, and you can say nothing but negativity and disbelief. I find that hypocritical and arrogant. What we are given by Hashem is so vast and varied. I wonder who you are to say something is not possible.
That is one, K”aH, beautiful child!! You can see the special neshama there!!!!
it is not the same person
its 28th of nisan….The Rebbe spoke about us not going out of our own golus pnimi yet….. how about seeing the broche and good in another person, who is now willing to share what he is doted with….. who gains by you falling into the trap of the choshesh hagolus instead of seeing the Divine light thats right here in front of your eyes! open your eyes and see, says the Rebbe…..be ready for the gueuleh in good health so easy to get! R Mendel may you and yours recieve all the broches you deserve for offering this to the… Read more »

Do doctors give you a guarantee? For much more than that?
may we see the complete geula!
I don’t know this guy personally, but knowing MBTI well, I would assume that he is Idealist – possibly an INFJ, as they are the most intuitive.
thier family had no kids for over 20 yrs. and now they have 1 boy and a girl!!!!!! miracle!
i to have power in my hands it takes away pain i have don it to my family and children but never in public
I want u all to know that there is a other chasidishe chabad chusid from anash eliezer shami salek who is known with the same exact powers well know by many
Sadly many ppl expect something for nothing. It is all over Lubavitch. Maybe cuz for example ppl do the shaliach a favor of showing for a minyan, they expect favors back. Etc. some ppl feel HaShem owes them since they are BTs. Some ppl never got brought up to pay their way in life. Even FFBs. Ppl Try to mooch whatever they can. it’s a whole mentality. True money is tight but be a mentch. Pay your kids’ school tuition properly. Don’t buy what you can’t afford. Ppl need to grow up. He’s smart to charge first cuz most of… Read more »
BS’D I hope the following answers most of the audience. I’ve personally experienced Mendel’s talents, and they are exquisite. The Gemora in Brochos states the value of a doctor is what you pay him. Not charging can at times be a disservice. Every field of endeavor has a market, with supply and demand dictating price. Every choleh has a shaliach. Gevaldik for those who found, and benefited from Mendel. Ask those who have paid if they are satisfied. How many licensed professionals who charge more, have done little or nothing, and in many cases exacerbated the issues , what their… Read more »
Reading the comments you understand why MM has been keeping his abilities secret for a very long time.
there was an interesting article in Ami magazine a few months ago re this phenomenom in the frum community.there are people like this in monsey,bp etc who are very good listeners and may even give very good advice but to say they’re HEALERS? whatever, they charge for it too. and to tell someone to check their tefilin? any lubavitcher knows that that was advice the rebbe often gave.what’s the chiddush?
Remember Dr Isk a”h? He was a sewing machine repairman and found he had this kind of thing. As I recall he had detailed instructions from the Rebbe. At one time his widow wanted to write his memoirs and she also got instruction on how to do this, mainly having a good lawyer as I recall. Does anyone know if anything happened with this?
All my life I’ve been able to see into the futer , read ppl, I will think of someone I haven’t seen or spoken to for yrs and they will call that same day ….i saw a particular terrorist attack happening … which it did , I say things sometimes which even shocks me b/c how did I know?? …..

Hi. Are you the same Mendel Marozow that was in South Africa many years ago as a bochur?
I know Mendel, He can read and write english on a college level. He has been a Shaliach of Brooklyn college and has printed many brochures on Moshiach and Kabballah….He is very well read and highly intelligent….You just don’t know him
He wasn’t always charging, he would do this for free and it takes a tremendous amount of energy and time.
BH
Some of the comments here are coming from pure ignorance on the person and on the topic of clairvoyance.
I personally spent many hours on the phone with Reb Mendel helping many Jews…
He is very clear and helped many.
Berry Farkash
PS: BTW $300 is nothing of a price. For people who are knowledgeable a bit in the field of healing. He charges nothing…
we were together as children and grew in CH
he is an erlicheh yungerman
and for those skeptics go to the AR shulchan aruch siman shin alef seif 24-34
one of the explanations of a mumchah the AR says is tied to mazolo i’m not a posek
I am wondering what this Baba Mendel has done for a living prior to embarking on his self designed career. I would respect him much more, as well as percieve his fee as justified if he would learn to read and write English, and attend college. He can than earn a degree in Mental Health or Psychology, thereupon deserving his fee. He can even charge insurance, so he can help a larger population. Till then…. Mendel, “Walla, lihyot baba zeh mazeh kef!” And as for your claim, “I might see an image, or actual words run through my mind.”- I… Read more »
That is a sure remedy for most of the problems.
If you are blessed with children make sure to do the homework with them.
If you are looking for a quick fix Hocus Pocus you might be disappointed.
not always does it help. I spoke for hours over the phone with him and he told me to do many things. He even told my father to recheck his tefillin. we did all he said and still our problem hasn’t been solved yet. i dont mean to say that he doesnt have powers. i just wanna say its not miracles always.
R’ Mendel definitely should be paid for his time, but $300 an hour???? That’s a lot for ordinary Crown Heights people. As desperate as I am with various issues I don’t have anywhere near that kind of money, I work 2 jobs just to keep my head above water. I think I’ll have to use common sense on myself. That’s free.
but i wish someone of the thousands that he has helped would consider writing their name and the specific issue where he was helpful.
Lets hear about others as well
i also have those “intuitive powers” as you call them. believe it or not, there are many people like that. They just don’t publicize it.
Its great that you discovered your talent..however there is a phenomenon called intuition – about 20% of the population has it acc. to statistics. So, great talent, yes, unusual, no.
I’ve witnessed first hand, the amazing intuitive ability and healing powers that R Mendel has.
Thank you for going public and helping people.
Wow… to heal ( I think he is psychic?) is a gift…
it’s not made up. People have different energies. Just like some people are drawn to mazal (winning lotteries, always there at the right time, etc.) some are drawn to healing others etc.
I’m interested, to all u personality junkies out there and who know him, what is his Kiersey or MBTI personality type?
in China, I hear that most healers take the money AFTER the healing has taken place. Just a thought.
He does sound incredible, and there is SO much to heal.
there are billions of people. you do something with enough conviction (and a good pr package) even if most people think you’re quacky all you need is a small percent to try you, and a small percent of those to think you helped, positive “miracles” spread, since people are desperate for quickl fixes, and ba-ba-biing a business, religion, miracle worker, cult is born.
i hope this guy does well for himslef and others. why not.
If rabbi Marozow really wants to help people the rates should be affordable! His prices are outrageous! Are there even sliding scale fees???
I’m so happy COL decided to interview this special person and put this up! I had the opportunity of meeting him and he is really great! It’s not magic, he just has an extra sense of intuition and he can tap into things that others cant that can help people deal with many sorts of problems.
Way to go!
he does not say when he looks at someone he can see what they problem is and then he can fix it, he first listens to their problem and then guides them what to do
Most common sense people can do the same thing!
Unless he can do miracles which he claims he can not do
Placebos often work for those who think it will…
B”H # 8 if you speak of the Rebbe than you ought to consider his statements re mashpiam and for sure you are not one and have no right to disparage this concept or this man and in the process negate all the people he has helped.According to your way of thinking, the people he has helped should suffer rather utilize his services.I imagine one should not see a doctor according to your line of thinking.Furthermore aren’t you familiar with the numerous stories of the Chabad Rebbaim who sent people to help to either other Rebbes or m’kabulim. Finally I… Read more »
im assuming that when you look a person you see all his problems and how to fix it since i see from your comment that you use common sense!!!
who is this nutritionist u speak of? number please.
don’t you people have a rebbe,a rav and a mashpia?! some are always looking for the next maigc cure or the latest guru but i would expect more from frum people,especially lubavitchers.
You go out write in to the Rebbe every time you have an emotional issue or pain?
Mendel Merozov is what your can call in simple English a diagnostician and a cure.
Or go to the doctor and hope for the best.
Be more positive.
thank you for posting this.often special people are unknown.
it would be nice if it could become a weekly feature.
B”H
who is your nutritionist # 4
Im #3 and I mistyped. I meant to write he knew things intuitively that he had NO other way of knowing. (major typo, no?)
from hashem ,there are people could can do this,the nutritionist l used does this also
I have had r’ Mendel help me with several issues and he’s a lot more than “just another person”. He has an amazing gift and uses it for good things! He definitely knows things intuitively that he had other way of knowing.
For the record, I was one of his tefillin cases! He insisted, I resisted, in the end he was right and it turned out there was a real problem with my tefillin.
I am thrilled that he finally agreed to talk openly about it. It is absolutely l’toieless horabim.
At $150 for half hour, would be nice if he had a guarantee.
it works for commonsense problems, which any down to earth realistic person can tell you the same thing
i guess we just dont have too many of those people
can he cure cancer? can he help people have kids? then we are talking otherwise he is just another person looking at things the way they are
