I sent this out as an email, so it is formatted in that manner. Please consider acting on it yourself, or sharing it with the relevant person(s) in your community. Thank you very much!


Shalom Rav!


I am in the process of organizing my speaking and lecturing schedule for the upcoming summer and autumn. I have Baruch Hashem a large and varied repertoire of topics and programs, and have been Baruch Hashem very well received in many venues, including shul and hotel scholar-in-residence events and programs. Please contact me to arrange for me to be Marbitz Torah in your shul.


My phone number is 845.216.1617, and my email address is ygb@aishdas.org.


Below is a brief bio and information on my online resources.


Thank you very much.


Kol Tuv,

Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer



Rabbi Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer is a Maggid Shiur at Yeshivas Ohr Somayach in Monsey, NY and a Rebbe at the Mesivta of Yeshivas Rabbeinu Yitzchok Elchonon (commonly known as MTA) in New York. He is also an editor at Artscroll/Mesorah Publications, at work on the Daily Dose project. Rabbi Bechhofer has served as a Rav, Rebbe and Rosh Kollel in the Chicago and New York areas.

His published seforim are: The Contemporary Eruv: Eruvin in Modern Metropolitan Areas, Bigdei Shesh on Bava Basra, and Bigdei Shesh on Sefer Shoftim. Well over one thousand tapes of his lectures and shiurim (including the entire Yerushalmi) are available on tape and online (see aishdas.org/rygb).


Rabbi Bechhofer learned in many yeshivos, including Sha’alvim, Ner Yisroel and both Mirrer yeshivos. He received Semicha from Rabbi Yitzchok Koolitz, Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, and Rabbi Zalman Nechemiah Goldberg, Av Beis Din of Jerusalem.
