Terrorism's evolving presence in contemporary America: A fresh look at Jihad and Intifada
In the vibrant heart of Brooklyn, NY, Rabbi Yitschak Rudomin resides, a man whose life and work have been deeply intertwined with Jewish education and community leadership. Born to Holocaust survivor parents in Israel, Rudomin grew up in South Africa before moving to the United States to pursue his academic and professional endeavors.
Rabbi Rudomin's educational journey took him to esteemed institutions such as Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin, Teachers College, Columbia University, and Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin once more. His academic achievements culminated in the authorship of "The Second World War and Jewish Education in America: The Fall and Rise of Orthodoxy," a significant work that delves into the transformative period of Jewish education during and after World War II.
Rabbi Rudomin's professional career has been marked by a commitment to Jewish education and community service. In 1988, he was appointed as the Director of the Belzer Chasidim's Sinai Heritage Center of Manhattan, a position he held until 1995. During this time, he also served as a Trustee of AJOP from 1994 to 1997.
A pivotal moment in Rudomin's career came in 1995 when he founded American Friends of South African Jewish Education. This organisation dedicated itself to supporting Jewish education in South Africa, a cause close to Rudomin's heart, given his early years spent in that country. He led the organisation until 2015, making a significant impact on Jewish education in South Africa.
More recently, Rabbi Rudomin has taken on the role of heading the Jewish Professionals Institute. Additionally, he has served as a docent and tour guide at The Museum of Jewish Heritage A Living Memorial to the Holocaust from 2017 to 2024, providing valuable insights and guidance to visitors.
