Ephraim Wolf

Ephraim Reuven Wolf (Hebrew: אפרים ראובן וולף; July 11, 1921 – March 6, 2004[1]) was an American Orthodox Rabbi and spiritual leader.

[2] His first rabbinical position was at the Young Israel of Malden, Massachusetts, where he founded the Beth Jacob Hebrew Academy.

[2] He also served as principal of the North Shore Hebrew Academy as an extension of the synagogue, and helped it gain New York State accreditation.

[3][4] When the North Shore Hebrew Academy was first founded, Wolf laid the foundation for the new school, developed a competitive curriculum and recruited teachers.

[4] Wolf was active in the project of Zeirei Agudath Israel headed by Mike Tress, and worked hard to be Mekarev and recruit boys with less religious background and exposure to learn at Mesivta Torah Vodaath,[3] then headed by Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz.
