The school will be led by Rabbi Chanoch Oppenheim and Rebbetzin Sara Oppenheim.
Rabbi Oppenheim completed the bulk of his studies at Mir Yeshiva Kollel in Jerusalem. In 1996 he received smicha (rabbinical ordination) from Rav Yitzchak Kulitz, Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem. He also trained in pedagogy and pastoral psychology at Ohr LaGolah Leadership Institute.
His teaching is imbued with an attitude derived from his years at Aish HaTorah: "[to provide] opportunities for Jews of all backgrounds to discover the beauty and meaning of their heritage in an atmosphere of open inquiry and mutual respect".
Rebbetzin Sara Oppenheim has enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a Jewish educator. She founded N-Aish-Ay, a women's organization that offers educational programs and social events for wives of future rabbis, educators, and other community leaders and has worked as a dating coach for Aish HaTorah. Sara is also highly regarded as a specialist in women's intimacy issues.
