Dr. Dobrick graduated from Brandeis University, where he studied history, philosophy and education. After college, he studied at Aish HaTorah in Jerusalem. He was a founding faculty member and later assistant principal of Yeshiva High School in Boca Raton, and spent over a decade developing the school from its inception to the thriving institution it is today.
