Join the Villanova Jewish Law Student Association for Pre-Election Reflections: Biblical Ideals of Leadership and Government with Rabbi Menachem Leibtat.
Rabbi Menachem Leibtat teaches at Yeshivat Har-Etzion, one of the leading Yeshivas in Israel. He is an internationally acclaimed biblical scholar and pioneer of Jewish Education on the internet, well known in the Jewish community for his essays on the weekly Bible portion. His vibrant thematic-analytical approach blends the methods of modern academic scholarship with traditional Jewish approaches to the Biblical text. He is best known for his ability to teach students how to study rather than simply read Biblical passages. As his essays focus on meta-themes in the Bible, his readership has expanded to students of the Bible from all religions and walks of life.
Rabbi Leibtag routinely lectures around the globe, primarily as a Scholar in Residence in communities all over North America, Europe and the Far East. He is also a regular guest lecturer for students groups at universities such as Brandies, Columbia, Harvard, NYU, Penn, Princeton, Rutgers, and the University of Maryland.
