Shimon Green
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rabbi Shimon Yerucham Green is the Rosh Yeshiva of Bircas HaTorah in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, a Yeshiva of Talmud professionals that specializes in intensive programs for adults. The Yeshiva utilizes a logical and rhetorical method developed by Rabbi Green that makes precision-Talmudic learning accessible to anyone who follows it diligently.[1]
Rabbi Green emigrated to Israel at the age of seventeen. After fourteen years of intensive study with his primary teacher, Rabbi Mordechai Goldstein, he was ordained, and went on to pursue post-rabbinic studies with Rabbi Zalman Nechemia Goldberg, at the renowned Kollel Shevet U'Mechokek, from which he also holds an ordination. In addition to his formal studies throughout those years, he traveled the length and breadth of Israel presenting Torah outreach programs to thousands of youths and adults, in schools, army bases, kibbutzes and towns. In 1989, together with several colleagues, Rabbi Green founded Bircas HaTorah.
In addition to teaching at the Yeshiva, Rabbi Green gives numerous seminars, lectures, and weekend seminars throughout the world. His exciting presentations are famous for their depth, clarity, humor, and inspiration.
Participants in his programs remark that Rabbi Green is accessible and down-to-earth, and that within minutes after meeting him they feel as if they are speaking with an old friend.
On the Internet, Rabbi Green is well-known for his popular and much-loved weekly minute of audio inspiration, aptly titled “ The Rabbi Green Minute.”
Rabbi Green strives to help every Jew achieve the ecstatic Torah experience that he believes is their birthright.
