Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz has been named senior maggidshiur at Beis Medrash L’Talmud, an affiliate of Touro’s Lander College for Men (LCM).

Rabbi Lebowitz studied at YU—RIETS and received his semichah from Rav Zalman Nechemya Goldberg. He currently serves as the mara d’asra of Beis Haknesses of North Woodmere, a position he has held since its founding in 2004. He is a rebbe at the Davis Renov Stahler Yeshiva High School in Woodmere as well as maggidshiur and program director of Yeshivat Lev Shlomo, the beis medrash program affiliated with the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach.

“We take great pride in appointing Rabbi Lebowitz as a full-time member of the esteemed rabbinic faculty of Beis Medrash L’Talmud—Lander College for Men,” said Rav Yonason Sacks, rosh ha’yeshiva. “We are confident that he will add immeasurably to the scholarship and excellence of our yeshiva.”

Rabbi Lebowitz is an alumnus of Yeshivat Kerem B’Yavneh and the Sy Syms School of Business. He has published numerous articles on practical halachah in various journals, including the Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society. His thousands of recorded shiurim on halachah, Gemara, and d’rush have gained widespread popularity. Prior to establishing the Beis Haknesses of North Woodmere, Rabbi Lebowitz served for three years as assistant rabbi at Congregation Shaaray Tefila in Lawrence, where he headed the morning kollel. Rabbi Lebowitz and his wife, Elana, are the proud parents of Yonah, Yisroel, Zecharia, Daniel, and Chani.

Rabbi Lebowitz stated, “It is very exciting to join Beis Medrash L’Talmud, a rapidly growing makomTorah whose students will be leaders in the Torah community for many years to come. I look forward to working with the fantastic team of rebbeim and maggideishiur, under the leadership of Rav Yonason Sacks, shlita, to help our students continue to grow in Torah learning and become the type of people who will have a deep, positive, and lasting impact on the future of KlalYisrael.”

According to Dr. Moshe Sokol, dean of LCM, “Rabbi Lebowitz has already established a reputation as one of America’s star high-school rebbeim, as an outstanding shulrav, and as a maggidshiur for thousands through his widespread shiurim. He will now have the opportunity to educate and influence older students, who have returned from studying in Israel, and thereby help shape a new generation of sophisticated, college-educated young men, future leaders of the Jewish community.”

The Lander College for Men is an undergraduate division of Touro College. Located in Queens, the college is grounded in a dual curriculum of intensive Torah study and a wide range of academic programs. Dedicated to Touro’s mission of perpetuating the Jewish heritage, LCM prepares students to uphold the ideals of Torah and pursue positions of professional and communal leadership.
