Rabbi Doniel Baron

Topic: The 4th Yahrzeit of R' Moshe Shapiro zt'l
 

Rabbi Doniel Baron’s chinuch and kiruv efforts span two decades which include thought-provoking educational tours, seminars, programs and lectures. His flagship multimedia presentation revealing the depth of the Lashon Hakodesh has received rave reviews from audiences across Israel and the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom, Poland, Germany, and Hungary.

Rabbi Baron has taught at Pischei Olam, a Jerusalem yeshiva headed by Rav Moshe Shapira zatzal under whom he learned for 26 years, which caters to intellectual Israelis from secular backgrounds.

Previously he has taught at Ohr Somayach’s Derech Institute, Aderes Hatorah, Lev Aharon and was a senior lecturer at Aish Hatorah. He has also taught classes to religiously unaffiliated Israelis in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Be’ersheva. In addition, Rabbi Baron ran programs for thousands of unaffiliated birthright participants throughout Israel and spoke on Jewish topics at college campuses, businesses and other venues.

Rabbi Baron’s worldwide experience includes outreach in Tallin, Estonia just months after the fall of the Soviet Union and leading Jewish heritage experiences in destinations that include Prague, Venice, Padua, Budapest, Frankfurt, Thessaloniki, Athens, and other cities. Whether the context is a crumbling ruin of yesteryear or a preserved magnificent synagogue of a bygone era, his insights provide a message tailored to the audience at its comfort level.

Rabbi Baron spent fourteen years collectively studying at the Mirrer Yeshiva and the Jerusalem Kollel (Rav Yitzchak Berkovits).
