Rabbi Ron Yitzchok Eisenman

Rabbi Ron Yitzchok Eisenman

Rabbi Ron Yitzchok Eisenman was born and raised in Brooklyn. After marriage he spent years learning in Kollel  both in  Eretz Yisroel and in the States.
After being privileged to teach Torah as a rebbe in Yeshiva for two decades, in 1997 he was appointed as the Rav of Congregation Ahavas Israel in Passaic, NJ. From humble beginnings the shul now hosts forty minyamin a day.
In addition to his rabbinic functions, Rabbi Eisenman is a Professor at Lander College for Women. He has published three books; the latest, Shul With A View (Artscroll), is a much enlarged compendium of the columns published in Mishpacha Magazine since 2008.
Rabbi Eisenman also writes a blog entitled The Short Vort, with anecdotes about the ups and downs of being a shul rabbi.
Rabbi Eisenman and his family have been living in Passaic for thirty years, and their married children are spread out in the New York area and  Eretz Yisroel.
In his free time he loves reading his favorite magazine, Mishpacha.
