Ephraim Buchwald is one of the leaders in the movement of Jewish return
in America today. He has pioneered and developed many of the most dramatic
and effective outreach programs in this country.
Ordained at Yeshiva University, where he was a student of Rabbi Dr. J.B. Soloveitchik, Rabbi Buchwald served from 1973 for 15 years as the Director of Education at Lincoln Square Synagogue in New York which has become one of the largest and most successful centers for adult Jewish education programs in America. He also established and coordinated Lincoln Square's acclaimed outreach program. Since 1975, Rabbi Buchwald has led the now renowned 'Beginners Service', a special Shabbat service for people with little or no synagogue experience.
In July of 1987, Rabbi Buchwald founded the National Jewish Outreach Program, an organization which sponsors Beginners Services, Crash Courses in Hebrew Reading and Basic Judaism, and coordinates 'TURN FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SHABBAT' programs throughout North America. Through the National Jewish Outreach Program, Rabbi Buchwald hopes to provide a basic Jewish education, as well as joyous Jewish experiences, for every Jew in America. The response to NJOP's campaigns has been historic, and, in only six years, NJOP has already reached more than 165,000 Jews in 45 American states and four Canadian provinces. NJOP programs have also been introduced in more than 24 countries worldwide.
Rabbi Buchwald is Honorary President of the Association for Jewish Outreach Professionals(AJOP). He lectures across the country, and overseas, and leads experiential programs in cities throughout the world. He, his wife Aidel, and their four children reside in New York City.
