Profiles / Speakers / Rabbi Ari Blech

Rabbi Ari Blech is a graduate of Yeshiva University where he studied English and Philosophy as befits someone planning to work in the Rabbinate and not get a “real job.” While at Yeshiva, he studied under Rabbi Michael Rosensweig while picking up enough awards in writing to help his parents shep a lot of nachas, which as an only son is really the very least he could do. Rabbi Blech received his semicha from Chabad and has spent the last four years helping successfully build Bradley Beach, NJ into a year-round community. He has been a Visiting Rabbi for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur programs in New York and New Jersey in addition to other lecture series and Scholar in Residence bookings. An 11th generation Rabbi, and the most eclectic example to date, Ari and his wife Alaethia (plus their adorable dog Eden, and cats, Kugel and Agape) love hosting guests, playing Rose and Thorn, learning, teaching, laughing, and Stand Up Paddleboarding.
