KITC is excited to announce that starting August 15, Rabbi Baruch Rock will be the Rabbi of Kenesset Israel Torah Center.

Born and raised in New York, Rabbi Baruch Rock most recently served as the Director of Synagogue Youth Programming at Beth Jacob Congregation of Irvine. He was previously the Interim Director of Jewish Life and Learning at Pardes Jewish Day School in Scottsdale, AZ and as the Senior Rabbi at Orot HaCarmel Synagogue in San Diego. Rabbi Rock received his Orthodox Semicha from the Straus Rabbinical Seminary under Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, a Master of Arts from Ben Gurion University, and a Bachelor of Arts from New York University.

A strong love of Israel is a significant part of his approach to Judaism. Rabbi Rock will be at KITC twice a month and during holidays and will be available daily by email or phone. He will be teaching classes for KI both in-person and online. Rabbi Rock will also be on the faculty at the Jewish Community High School of the Bay in San Francisco.

Rabbi Rock is excited about serving KITC and putting down roots in Northern California. He loves astronomy and whitewater rafting. Rabbi Rock and his wife Carina, have four children; David, Osher, Eden and Halleli.

Help welcome Rabbi Rock on Shabbat Shoftim, August 14-15 with a community shabbat dinner and kiddush lunch.

Looking forward to the new year.
