Our Rabbi & Rebbitzen


Rabbi Shimon Green

Rabbi Shimon Green moved to Phoenix from the Old City of Jeruasalem, where he was the Head of Yeshiva Bircas HaTorah, to join us as the new rabbi of Cong. Ohr HaTorah in Phoenix, AZ. Rabbi Green made Aliyah to Israel when he was seventeen years old..He has traveled throughout Israel presenting Torah outreach programs to thousands of people, in schools, army bases, kibbutzim and moshavim. In 1989, together with several colleagues, Rabbi Green founded Yeshiva Bircas HaTorah in Jerusalem. Rabbi Green has traveled widely in Israel and abroad, giving seminars, lectures and meaningful Shabbos-Retreats to audiences that range from the totally secular to very observant. His exciting presentations are famous for their depth, clarity, humor, and inspiration. Participants in his programs remark that Rabbi Green is accessible and down-to-earth, and that within minutes after meeting him they feel as if they are speaking with an old friend. Rabbi Green strives to help every Jew achieve the ecstatic Torah experience that he believes is their birthright. Contact the Rabbi at rabbisgreen@gmail.com

Rebbitzen Devora Green
Rebbitzen Devora Green was a major force in the life of Jewish women in Yerushalayim, a talented, creative mother and grandmother who also writes, produces and directs plays each year for frum women.  She can cook for Shabbos for 60 people, make jewelry, baby-sit her grand-kids, and still have time to  write a play to give women the chance to be in a great production for women. We look forward to their Torah leadership and love.
