Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Riskin

Internationally-renowned educator, speaker and author Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Riskin’s outstanding contributions to Israel and to world Jewry have made him one of the leading voices of today's Modern Orthodox Jewish world.  Riskin is especially renowned for his bridge-building efforts between various segments of society and for the innovative educational and social action programs which he built to further this vision.

Rabbi Riskin founded and serves as Chancellor of Ohr Torah Stone, a network of educational institutions based upon the synthesis of Jewish values with contemporary living. Since its founding, Ohr Torah Stone has been in the forefront of generating Jewish societal change, charting new educational, legal and social paths in the realms of women’s rights within Judaism, bridging gaps between observant and secular Jews, and promoting dialogue between Jews and members of the world’s other major religions.
In addition to being an extraordinary teacher and sought-after lecturer, Rabbi Riskin writes a weekly column which is syndicated in newspapers worldwide. He has also published scores of articles and monographs on Judaism and contemporary issues, as well as five books.
