Rabbi Menachem
Moscovitz was born in Brooklyn, NY and was raised with a twin brother and
younger brother and sister. Today, he lives with his wife and children in Las
Vegas.
Rabbi Moscovitz has long been interested in Jewish education and
outreach, having attended Yeshiva Tiferes Yisroel in New York and earning his
bachelor’s degree in Talmudic studies at the Rabbinical Seminary of America,
also in New York. To round out this education and qualify him for teaching, he
earned a Master’s Degree in Educational Administration at Trident University in
Cypress, California.
Rabbi Moscovitz began his career as a mentor for high school students,
camp counselor, and Division Head at Camp Dora Golding in East Stroudsburg,
Pennsylvania in the Pocono region.
Rabbi Moscovitz married in 2005, after which he pursued advanced
Talmudic studies at the Rabbinical Seminary of America, while teaching classes
at Yeshiva Tiferes Yisroel. He also oversaw kashruth integrity as the Kashruth
Supervisor at a number of assisted living facilities around New York.
In 2012, after completing his formal education, Rabbi Moscovitz became a
5th grade teacher at Yeshiva Derech
Hatorah in Brooklyn, where he strove to share his passion for the Torah by
sharing the Talmud with his students and equipping them to continue their
studies beyond his class. He also taught small groups of students Math and
English under the school’s Title 1 program.
In 2013, while still teaching, Rabbi Moscovitz joined the Long Island
Torah Network as its Managing Director. The Network offers classes, study
groups, and other education resources to the Jewish community in Nassau and
Suffolk counties. As Managing Director, Rabbi Moscovitz was responsible for
public relations, for teaching Torah, and for creating, developing, and
implementing a number of new programs.
In 2015, Rabbi Moscovitz moved with his family to Las Vegas, where he
was invited to join the education and outreach team at the Kollel. This
position would give him an opportunity to make a difference for the community
of over 70,000 Jews. While with the Kollel, Rabbi Moscovitz taught both
classes, coordinated, events, managed public relations, and worked with
individuals to deepen their understanding of Torah.
In 2017, Rabbi Moscovitz was approached by two other rabbis who were
interested in establishing a high school for Jewish boys in Las Vegas. With the
support of the Kollel and encouragement from the Jewish community, Rabbi
Moscovitz played a vital role in the establishment of the Mesivta of Las Vegas
in August 2017.
When he isn’t teaching, Rabbi Moscovitz enjoys singing and playing
guitar. He often performs at weddings and other events, as well as playing
concerts. Though currently based in Las Vegas, he continues to serve as
Chazzan/Cantor at Congregation Ahavas Yisroel in Flushing, NY during the High
Holidays.
In his free time, Rabbi Moscovitz enjoys spending time in nature with
his family and exploring new areas. He has enjoyed working with the Jewish
community in Las Vegas and hopes to continue to do so for many years to come.
