Reb Moshe fulfills the traditional rabbinic role of teacher with an extensive background in Jewish studies. Having attended traditional yeshivot (orthodox parochial schools) as well as secular universities (he has a PhD in Eastern European Jewish intellectual history), Reb Moshe brings a wealth of knowledge to his rabbinate. Fortunate for the members of TBZ, he also wears his learning lightly. Often, a smile accompanies the learning.
In Reb Moshe’s many classes at TBZ, students find a unique combination of traditional lernen and rigorous critical approaches. He combines his traditional Jewish education with a broad general knowledge of popular culture. Reb Moshe’s unique approach offers his students access to Judaism’s traditional, textual history and to innovative paths of interpretation for the future. You’ll learn in Reb Moshe’s classes. And guaranteed, you’ll laugh!
