Rabbi Yisroel Boruch Sufrin is a nationally and internationally recognized educational leader, rabbi, and community builder whose work has transformed schools, synagogues, and communities across North America and beyond..
Currently serving as Senior Rabbi of the Young Sephardic Community Center (YSCC) and Dean of JETS — the Jewish Educational Trade School — Rabbi Sufrin continues to forge new pathways in Jewish education and community engagement for students and families of every background.
His distinguished service as a Head of School earned national recognition when President George H. Bush named his school the 86th Point of Light for its pioneering community service initiative — one of the country's most celebrated acknowledgments of educational excellence in service to others.
In California, Rabbi Sufrin was honored with the Covenant Award for Excellence in Education, among the field's most prestigious recognitions. His visionary, seamless integration of technology throughout General and Judaic Studies brought international distinction as an Apple Distinguished Program — a rare honor reflecting his abiding conviction that the most ancient wisdom and the most advanced tools are natural partners.
As a Principal Mentor for Yeshiva University, Rabbi Sufrin has shaped the careers of emerging educational leaders. He partnered with the American Jewish University, Los Angeles, to develop the curriculum and prospectus for a Master of Arts in Teaching in Jewish Education — a contribution that continues to influence the profession nationally.
Rabbi Sufrin partners nationally and internationally with schools, synagogues, independent institutions, and aspiring leaders — Jewish and non-Jewish alike — to build organizations that endure, inspire, and grow.
He is the author of Parenting and Parasha, published by Gefen Publishing House — a practical and inspiring guide connecting the wisdom of the weekly Torah portion to the everyday journey of raising children.
