Meet Our Rabbi,
Rabbi Dr. Meir Y. Soloveichik

Rabbi Soloveichik is a much-beloved speaker and teacher, who can be experienced in-person at Shearith Israel nearly every Shabbat throughout the year. 

His popular Friday Night Lights talk follows Friday Evening Services during the colder months, and his Shabbat Afternoon class takes place every week (with occasional substitutes or guest speakers).

Follow our emails for times, topics, and schedule changes.
