Mordechai Elon

Rabbi Mordechai Elon (b. December 9, 1959) is a Religious Zionist Israeli rabbi and rosh yeshiva of Yeshivat Hakotel in Jerusalem. He is also the head of the Mibereshit organization. Rabbi Elon is well known for his outreach to secular Israelis, and is the host of his own weekly television show.

He is the brother of Israeli politician, Benny Elon and the son of former Israel Supreme Court Justice Menachem Elon.

Of all his many lectures and classes, the most popular is his weekly dissertation on the parsha, delivered twice weekly in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. People from different ages and Jewish ethnicities attend this sermon from around the country, while it is estimated that thousands more tune in regularly to hear the live radio broadcast. Pages of source material are available free of charge for distribution to private individuals, institutions and schools.

The Rav is also the author of Torah thoughts on the Weekly Torah reading called "Techelet Mordechai". There is also a Haggadah that was published with this name, which is available in both Hebrew and English translation.
