Our Rabbis

Rabbi Twerski grew up on the north side of Chicago and lived in Israel for fifteen years.

He studied Biblical, Talmudic, and Rabbinic literature at Bircas Mordechai under Rabbi Yaakov Friedman, and Halacha at the Jerusalem Kollel under Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovits, where he received his rabbinic ordination.

Today, Rabbi Twerski teaches middle school Judaic studies at Phoenix Hebrew Academy and serves as rabbinic administrator at the Greater Phoenix Vaad HaKashruth.

He is married to Sara, who has a Master's in Speech-Language Pathology. They are blessed with seven children.
