Rabbi Yossel Sirota

Special praises for Rabbi Yossel Sirota. It is about time a phenomenal teacher, this deserving, gets globally recognized! There is no shortage of good words that we have for him, as a role model and as a mechanech!

So inspiring to see teachers receiving well deserved recognition! Yasher koach to the organizers.

Rabbi Sirota
July 3, 2016 7:19 pm

Rabbi Sirota was my teacher around ten years ago. So the very fact that I’m stopping to write this is a testamemt to the loyalty the Rabbi’s student feel to him. And know this: children the age of Rabbi Sirota’s students can’t be fooled with false demonstrations of care; but neither are we as perceptive to it at that age as we are now. So you can now imagine just how much Rabbi Sirota lives, breathes and works for his students and for his students to come as well-rounded, educated pre-teens. Thank you Rabbi Sirota for all that which makes… Read more »

Rabbi sirota

The announcement looking for parents and others to nominate a deserving teacher was posted a few weeks ago. Hopefully MEF will continue this beautiful idea and you can submit a nomination next year.

Rabbi Yosef Wolowik
July 3, 2016 4:00 pm

Rabbi Wolowik is an incredible and outstanding chassidisher mechanech as well as a true true chosid- my son is now almost 22 b”h and I clearly remember until today how he as a 7th grader student was impressed by rabbi Wolowik and how he learned from him in every possible way- my son b”h now is a “powerhouse” as some people say about him! I know for fact that this amazing rebbey had so much to do with my son.and yes we are truly blessed to have rabbi Yosef Wolowik in our Chede here in Los Angeles-Yasher koach. Dr dalia… Read more »

Rabbi Wolf!!!!!
July 3, 2016 12:38 pm

It’s hard to find the words to describe Rabbi Wolf’s dedication to the chinuch of his students. Yes, he is organized, meticulous, takes responsibility for the success of his students. He’s developed an amazing system of teaching so that the boys are not only memorizing lines, but really understanding what they are learning with little difficulty. My son was in his class so I know!! He works very hard to make this all happen! And I still can’t come up with the right words; he’s simply a geshmake teacher. Others should learn from him!

Rabbi Schapiro
July 3, 2016 8:46 am

We were so gebentched to have Rabbi Schapiro as our son’s teacher BH.
After the year was over, our son told us he wants to be held back a year so he can be in Rabbi Schapiro’s class again.
May there be many more like him.

Rabbi Wolowik LA
July 3, 2016 1:07 am

By far one of the most patient ,caring and devoted teachers . My son had Rabbi Wolowik this year and we were amazed at how organized he was and how he gave over the Gemara in such a clear and down to earth way . Thank you Rabbi Wolwik. We are such fans !

Mother of former student of Rabbi Schapiro
July 2, 2016 11:50 pm

My son doesn’t stop talking about his 3rd grade year in Rabbi Schapiro’s class as his best year ever! Thanks for all the kochos and love you devote to each and every talmid.
We are so grateful!

Go Rabbi Scharf!
July 2, 2016 11:47 pm

Rabbi SC Scharf of Lubavitch Mesivta of Chicago (the only Mechanech on this list not in elementary) is def number 1 on this list! He has helped literally hundreds of bochurim learn what true yorei shemayim and hiskashrus is, all in a brilliant refined eidel way.

Rabbi Goldwasser
July 2, 2016 11:42 pm

I’m disappointed that this legendary Dugma Chaya of a caring Melamed wasn’t among those chosen. He continues to be an inspiration to many boys, including my son.

July 2, 2016 11:27 pm

Rabbi Shloime Newman is the most exciting and toichendiker storyteller my children ever had. He had them glued to every word he said..so happy to see him on the list.

From your friends down south. Very south of the border.

Rabbi Sirota an inspiration!
July 2, 2016 11:07 pm

Not one parent in over 10 yrs teaching has ever had a complaint about Rabbi Sirota. He is the most kind and positive teacher one can hope for. He has boosted my son’s confidence and brought him up to par academically. He is a true role model for middos and chassidishkite. We are so fortunate and he surely deserves this nomination!!!

Rabbi Yosef wolowik -THE BEST
July 2, 2016 10:38 pm

Rabbi wolowik connects with the kids in a way that Noone else does. Always finds the positive and builds on that! Def deserves the title he is given here!

Rabbi Klein

Rabbi Klein is a superb teacher for 6 grade OT. He makes the Gemara and learning alive for the boys! He is also attuned to the social and emotional needs of his students! He is a winner for every student in his class!

I personally know rabbi Wolff and he is a very deserving candidate. He cares so much for the students. He wants to make sure that every student learns and does his best. He teaches students how to learn Gemoro so they can then learn on their own. He is always with a smile and making sure that each talmid gets the attention and service he needs. Kol hakovod! Rabbi Wolff, hashem should bentch you with every brachos!

A True Educator!
July 1, 2016 5:29 pm

So happy to see Rabbi Steinberg’s name here!! He is a true educator, constantly connecting and looking out for the boys wherever they may be – on the street, in Shul, at the local store – not just within the four walls of the classroom. He is always focused on our children’s chinch; doesn’t miss an opportunity to guide them! So lucky to have him in our community.

15 years ago Rabbi Shapiro was my CHASIDUS Rebby,his passion for teaching was unbelievable, anything he ever taught me is engraved in my mind forever.

He also showed persoanl attention to every one of his students and his methods to educate should probably be closely watched by others going into education.

I’m happy to see others feel the same.

Rabbi Schapiro
July 1, 2016 5:09 pm

Is incredible!! He truly deserves the honor. One of a kind- an unbelievable mechanech who cares for each child and instills yirei shamayim and chassidishkeit.
