Our Teachers
At SHEVACH we are blessed to have teachers who live what they teach. Each teacher is advanced on their personal spiritual and creative journey and share the wisdom and craft of living life to the fullest that they have acquired on their path.
RABBI DOCTOR LEIBISH HUNDERT
Our Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Doctor Leibish Hundert, was a close and beloved student of our late Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Sholom Brodt z”l. He received his Rabbinic ordination from HaRav Efraim Greenblatt zt'l, and just recently his PhD from Concordia University. Reb Leibish established and led the McGill University’s “Ghetto Shul” for 11 years, well-known and remembered as one of the most vibrant and impactful college shuls during his time there. Reb Leibish uses his musical talents, great sense of humor and radiant personality to create a profound learning experience.
