Joel Landau (rabbi)

[4] Landau has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences from Empire State College, a teaching credential from Lipshitz College, ordination from the Chief Rabbinate in Jerusalem, and a post- graduate degree in Judaic Studies issued by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel.

[1] In 1988 Landau became the Associate Rabbi of Brith Sholom Beth Israel Synagogue in Charleston, South Carolina.

[3] During his 12 years of service he managed to triple the size of the shul, and in addition to his rabbi responsibilities he was actively involved in many aspects of the Jewish community life, from local schools to the JCC, Federation, AIPAC and representing Israel and Judaism in general.

Inspired by this, he decided to make an even bigger impact and became involved with The Kemach Foundation, an organization whose mission is to bring positive changes into Israeli society, enable members of the ultra-Orthodox community to join the work-force and contribute to the economic development of Israel by providing them with support and resources.

[6] The non-profit film production company identifies, researches, and reports on how Israeli innovations improve the daily lives of people throughout the world.
