Beis HaMidrash LaTorah, Hebrew Theological College, a member of the Touro College and University System, is excited to announce that beginning in the fall of 2018, Rabbi Moshe Revah will join our Yeshiva as a Rosh Yeshiva in the Beis Midrash and College Program for Men. Rabbi Revah will teach the advanced Gemara shiur in the morning and afternoon as well as Night Seder shiur for 12th grade students in Fasman Yeshiva High School.
Rabbi Revah, originally from Toronto, learned in the Passaic Yeshiva, Bais Midrash Gavoah in Lakewood and Brisk in Israel. He spent six years in Kollel in Israel learning under Rav Yaakov Hillel before joining the Chicago Community Kollel. He is currently the Rav of Ohel Tefillah, a new shul in West Rogers Park, and is a prominent senior member of the Chicago Community Kollel. For the past six years, he has delivered a daily Daf Yomi shiur, various Gemara and Halacha shiurim and is a widely sought after speaker in the community. Rabbi Revah completed his first sefer, Revach Barur on Hilchos Ribbis, about the laws of not charging interest and is about to release his newest sefer, Revach Milseih on Hilchos Basar B’Chalav, about the laws of milk and meat. He is a frequent contributor to Halacha Encounters, a weekly publication of the Chicago Community Kollel.
“We are extremely excited to welcome Rabbi Revah to HTC. He is a dynamic Talmid Chacham and a very well-liked Rav and Rebbe,” said Rabbi Avraham Friedman, Rosh HaYeshiva. Rabbi Shmuel Schuman, CEO added, “In an effort to restructure the learning in the Beis Midrash, bringing in Rav Revah will greatly complement our vibrant team of Roshei Yeshiva led by our Rosh HaYeshiva, HaRav Avraham Friedman. Our students are sure to benefit from Rabbi Revah’s vast Torah knowledge and genuine warmth.”
