Yaakov Bender
Yaakov Bender[1][2] (born 1950) is an American Orthodox rabbi. He is the rosh hayeshiva (dean) of Yeshiva Darchei Torah (Far Rockaway).[3] He was appointed[4] first as a seventh-grade rebbi (Hebrew teacher) in 1978 and less than a year later as principal.[5] Bender is a speaker, writer[6] and adviser on Jewish education.
He is an active member of the Vaad Roshei Yeshiva - the governing rabbinic board - of Torah Umesorah – National Society for Hebrew Day Schools.[7]
His parents, Rabbi Dovid and Basya Bender, were pioneering educators on the American Jewish scene.[8] His paternal grandfather, Rabbi Avraham Bender, traveled in the 1930s within the United States to raise funds for yeshivas in New York and Israel.[9]
In 1997 he was recognized as an outstanding Jewish educator by The Covenant Foundation.[10]
COVID-19 vaccination advocacy[edit]
Bender encouraged people to get the COVID-19 vaccine, saying "We haven't lived through enough?"[2][11]
