Rabbi Kenigsberg

Rabbi Joel Kenigsberg, our Rabbi,  grew up in Johannesburg, making Aliyah after high school. He studied at Yeshivat HaKotel in the Hesder program combining Y eshiva and IDF service, and shoel u’meishiv for the International students program. He graduated from Eretz Hemdah in Manhigut Toranit – a five-year post-Semicha program developing Rabbinic leadership and has since had 7 years of pulpit experience. For the past 4 years, Rabbi Kenigsberg and his wife Sarah have been living in

London as Shlichim of Mizrachi UK. He has served as the Rabbi of Magen Avot, a dynamic and vibrant Modern Orthodox

community in NW London, and is the Rav Shaliach of Bnei Akiva UK. Rabbi Kenigsberg has a B.Ed from Lifshitz College of Education and a Master’s degree in Science & Halacha from Bar-Ilan University, both with distinction. He takes a special interest in the interface between Halacha and the modern world and is responsible for many articles in the Tzurba m’Rabanan series. The Kenigsbergs have two children – Yonatan (aged 7) and Tsofia (aged 4).
