Rav Avishai David, Shlita
Rav Avishai David received his rabbinic ordination from Yeshiva University. While studying under great Torah giants such as Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik zt”l and Rav Nissan Alpert zt”l, Rabbi David acquired a vast amount of knowledge which he now shares with his talmidim worldwide. Prior to his aliyah in August 1994, Rabbi David was Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Bnei Akiva Ohr Chaim and Ulpanat Orot in Toronto and principal of Block Yeshiva High School in St. Louis. In Israel, Rabbi David was a Ram at Yeshivat Hesder Ohr Etzion, and headed the Midreshet Mevasseret Yerushalayim (MMY) seminary for women. Starting Elul 5762, Rabbi David became the Rosh Hayeshiva of Yeshivat Torat Shraga in Jerusalem, a post high school yeshiva. In Beit Shemesh, Rabbi David delivers regular shiurim on Parshat Hashavua, Halacha, Gemarah, and Tefillah, while serving as a posek for the entire Beit Shemesh community.
Rabbi David’s talmidim, including soldiers serving in Zahal, university and yeshiva students, and Beit Shemesh residents, have all been inspired by his love of Torah, commitment to Eretz Yisrael, and deep sensitivity for Klal Yisrael.
