Rabbi Yitzchak Etshalom

Rabbi Yitzchak Etshalom, a native of Los Angeles, California, attended Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavne, Rabbi Isaac Elhanan Theological Seminary and Yeshivat Har Etzion before receiving ordination from the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem. Rabbi Etshalom has been a dynamic and exciting educator in the Los Angeles area since 1985. His ability to reach out to today's youth and share with them his passion for Jewish learning and Jewish life has enriched many young lives. His talents, however, are not confined to the classroom - he is an accomplished storyteller, radio host and songwriter and has published recordings of both his own stories and music. Rabbi Etshalom's first book "Between the Lines of the Bible" was published by Yashar Books; volume 2 is expected in 2010. He serves on the Administration of Yeshiva University High Schools of Los Angeles as Director of Curriculum as well as being a senior instructor in both the Boys' and Girl's divisions. He and his wife Stefanie are the proud parents of five children. See Rabbi Etshalom's first book at http://www.yasharbooks.com/Lines.html
