Zerach Yisroel זרח ישראל

Holistic Wellness Advisor

A path to healing begins when body, mind, and soul are brought back into alignment. For more than two decades, this approach has guided the work of Zerach Yisroel HaKohen — a Jerusalem-based Holistic Wellness Advisor, blending nutrition guidance, counseling, and a deep foundation in Torah wisdom to support people through physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges.

Healing is a relationship, a journey, and a process of rediscovering the intelligence built into the human body by The Creator. When balanced nutrition, emotional support, and spiritual clarity come together, the body often responds with strength that surprises even the most skeptical.

What makes Zerach Yisroel unique? 

People often ask, “Where did the name Zerach Yisroel come from?” 

On the eighth day after my birth, my parents—a traditional secular family—gave me the Hebrew name זרח (Zerach) at my Brit Milah (circumcision). Zerach means “to shine.” In 2020, the name ישראל (Yisroel) was ceremoniously added by HaRav Aharon Bitton, a renowned Mekubal, at Yeshiva Chovavi Tzion on Shilo Street in Nachlaot, Jerusalem.

As I was called up to the Torah and the rabbi announced my new name, a loud thump echoed through the room—a young student named David collapsed to the floor, unconscious. Baruch Hashem, he was unharmed. Even then, I sensed something profound had just taken place.

About four years after 2020, and following the addition of the name ישראל (Yisroel), on January 16, 2024 I lay awake in bed when I heard a “bas kol” (heavenly voice) instructing me to write down two names: 

פנחס הכהן (Pinchas HaKohen)

אליהו הנביא (Eliyahu HaNavi)

I was then guided to calculate their gematria (numerical values).

פנחס הכהן (Pinchas HaKohen) – 278

אליהו הנביא (Eliyahu HaNavi) – 120

Then the "bas kol" instructed me to write down and get the gematria of 

משיח (Moshiach) – 358

I was then guided to add them together and calculate the total gematria (numerical values).

פנחס הכהן (Pinchas HaKohen) – 278

אליהו הנביא (Eliyahu HaNavi) – 120

משיח (Moshiach) – 358

-------

756 Total

I was then told to calculate the gematria of my name.

💠 Zerach Yisroel (זרח ישראל) = 756

The precise numerical match between these names revealed a divine alignment, showing a profound spiritual connection between the lineage of Pinchas HaKohen, the prophetic mission of Eliyahu HaNavi, the ultimate redemption through Moshiach, and my own purpose as Zerach Yisroel. 

This extraordinary correspondence confirmed that I am part of a sacred continuum, entrusted with a mission to carry forward their light and guidance into the world. 

2011: A Year of Divine Guidance and New Beginnings

Two weeks after my first trip to Israel, while parked in my car in New York, I received a clear revelation with specific instructions to end a 30+ year drought and restore rain to Israel—a guidance I followed, and the rains returned. Later that year, on the day of the first night of Chanukah 2011, I officially made Aliyah to Israel and had the honor of lighting the first Chanukah candle with IDF soldiers on a base outside Jerusalem, marking the beginning of a new spiritual path. 

2017: Solving a $1M Traffic Flow Problem

On May 18, 2017, an attorney named Shabtai, representing the Israeli government, sought my help with a critical traffic congestion issue on Route 1, the newly constructed highway to Jerusalem. The government was prepared to spend $1 million on external consultants.

Using the intuitive insights I received, I provided a simple but effective solution, resolving the issue quickly. While the success was recognized, the credit and financial reward remained elsewhere. The knowledge that my efforts made a meaningful impact brought deep fulfillment—but so was the challenge of knowing that the resources that could have strengthened my mission never reached me. 

Just before the emergence of COVID-19, a realization struck me during the Friday night song Shalom Aleichem:

🔹 The traditional lyrics say מַלְאֲכֵי (Malachei, "angels"), but it should be מַלְכֵי (Malchei, "kings").
🔹 The difference of a single א (Aleph) changes the meaning completely.

✔ Incorrect version: מַלְאֲכֵי → 509
✔ Corrected version: מַלְכֵי → 497
✔ The difference is 12—the numerical value of א (Aleph).
✔ Adding just 1 more brings it to 510—the exact gematria of "נגיף קורונה" (Corona Virus).

A seemingly small linguistic error in a prayer sung by millions held a hidden numerical warning—one I uncovered just before the pandemic arrived.
