Rabbi Menachem Altein
Jewish Chaplain, Chabad at MIT

Continuing his advanced studies in Jewish mysticism and Chabad texts, he spent 2 years at the Rabbinical College of America (Morristown, NJ), where he received his BA in Religious Studies. Having taught for a year in Yeshiva Ohr Elchanan in Los Angeles, he returned to Brooklyn to further his study of Halacha (Jewish law) and received rabbinical ordination at Chabad World Headquarters in 2013.
After marrying his wife, Mussy, he studied a year in a Kollel in Midtown Manhattan, before moving to Cambridge in the summer of 2014 to head the new Chabad center at MIT, founded by Rabbi Hirschy Zarchi, director of Chabad Lubavitch of Cambridge and Jewish chaplain at Harvard University.
