Rabbi Avi Rosenbaum fondly remembers being a student at JEC. Having himself been inspired by his rebbeim, he is only too happy to return to pay it forward.

With semicha from Ner Yisrael, and a master’s degree from Johns Hopkins, Rabbi Rosenbaum is excited to jump right in. Rabbi Rosenbaum is teaching all ninth grade students in a variety of classes, and will serve as their grade advisor as well. In just his first few days, he is already making an impact with his students. “It’s his preparation that is most incredible,” said one of his Gemara students. “It seems like every time anyone asks a question he has a handout prepared to tackle it.” Rabbi Rosenbaum is also coordinating the new Sunday Learning Program at the high school. Through his dynamic training, running NCSY Camp Sports Kollel, Rabbi Rosenbaum is already a budding star in the landscape of Jewish education.
