Rabbi Moshe Sokoloff |
You can ask Rabbi Sokoloff any question on any topic and he will quote you sources and help you get the sugya clear. He studied in Yeshiva Shaar Hatorah for over 16 years and received Smicha from the Rosh Yeshiva Rav Kalman Epstein. Subsequently, he taught Halacha in Yeshiva Ateres Yaakov for 5 years. He has also continues to give 2 very popular weekly shiurim in Young Israel of Woodmere. You can listen to those shiurim on YU Torah’s website. We are very fortunate to have Rabbi Sokoloff as our captain in charge and it only helps that he lives across the street from Yeshiva with his wife, Mindy, and their four children, Adina, Meir, Zehava and Chaim.
Rabbi Avi Heinberg |

Rabbi Heinberg is a close disciple of Rav Chaim Ilson שליט״א, one of the premier students of Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik זצ״ל. He has a passion for giving over the דרך הלימוד he received from his Rebbi to others, focusing the תלמידים on a careful and honest reading of sources, especially גמרא and ראשונים, breaking things down so they can fully appreciate them and see for themselves how a sugya plays out הלכה למעשה.
He also enjoys saying shiurim on various halakhic topics, based heavily on the sugyos in גמרא and ראשונים. He was משמש Rav Moshe Mordechai Karp שליט״א, a close student of the Steipler and Rav Elyashiv זצ״ל, and one of the foremost פוסקים in Eretz Yisroel today. In addition to teaching, Rabbi Heinberg has a thirst for experimenting with and mastering various facets of הלכה; he is a סופר סת״ם, בעל תוקע, בעל קורא, and expert in ד׳ מינים, to name a few.
For the time being he resides in Kew Gardens Hills with his wife and five children and we wish them well in their planned move to Eretz Yisroel in the coming months b’ezras Hashem!
