STAFF

The Yeshiva’s staff includes veteran scholars and young dynamic Rabbis alike, all of whom balance their raw intelligence with personal warmth, passionate convictions with understanding and openness, and Torah wisdom with the modern world. In addition, special guest scholars-in-residence will visit the Yeshiva and teach throughout the year.

The founder of the Yeshiva is Rabbi Chaim (Ian) Pear. In addition to receiving Rabbinic Ordination from Yeshiva University (with a specialization in Jewish Philosophy), Rabbi Pear holds degrees in law from New York University School of Law and international relations from Georgetown University’s School for Foreign Service. An author, former stand-up comic and popular lecturer in both Israel and the United States, Rabbi Pear lives just a few minutes from the Yeshiva and looks forward, along with his wife and three children, to hosting students on a regular basis at his home.
