Rabbi Yitzchok Oratz Director
|
Rabbi Yitzi Oratz is committed to building a unique Jewish community
here in Marlboro -- one based on Torah values, but also one that is
welcoming and non-judgmental. By relating to each Jew as an
individual, his vision is to create an environment where Jews of all
backgrounds can move beyond any negative stereotypes and find unity
in learning and spiritually growing together. He believes that
living a Torah lifestyle has tangible and immediate benefits in this
world -- right here, right now.
Rabbi Oratz finds that doing outreach work is a pathway to personal growth that also enriches one's understanding of Judaism. Among his greatest joys are sharing the beauty of Shabbos with fellow Jews, as well as teaching and studying Talmud with others. He also looks for ways to demonstrate how Halachic observance enriches one's life and is a source of personal growth.
Rabbi Oratz, one of 10 brothers, is originally
from Brooklyn, NY. He attended Yeshiva Torah Temimah in
Flatbush and then spent a year in Jerusalem studying at the Brisk
Yeshiva of Rabbi Dovid Soleveitchik.
Upon his return to the USA he studied at
Beis Medrash Govoha in Lakewood, New Jersey where received his
Rabbinic ordination and earned a Masters in Talmudic Studies.
Rabbi Oratz and his wife Toby live in
Marlboro where they are proud to raise their children as part of the
MTL community.
