Rabbi Elan Mazer comes to us with his family from the Old City of Jerusalem, where he had the incredible opportunity to both live and learn at Yeshivat Hakotel. Rabbi Mazer is well-versed in a wide range of Judaic subjects, from in-depth Gemara to Jewish Philosophy, to Tanach. While completing the steps towards Rabbanut Smicha and a Bachelors of Education at Lifschitz College of Jerusalem, Rabbi Mazer was an integral part of the HaKotel staff, guiding the students through the morning Gemara shiur, preparing many insightful shiurim, and connecting to the students on a personal level. In addition, he taught Jewish Thought and Parshat HaShavua at Baer Miriam Seminary for girls. Living in the Old City also enabled him to meet, host, and work with a wide range of Jewish people, from students on birthright trips to the weekly Rova women’s shiur. Rabbi Mazer has also served in the Combat Engineering Corps of the Israel Defense Forces. Rabbi Mazer, a Shaliach and limudei kodesh teacher, is devoted to instilling a passion for Torah and deep connection to Eretz Yisrael in the hearts of the students at Bnei Akiva Schools. He is also currently the National Director of Mizrachi Canada.
