Executive Leadership

Rabbi Dovid Gurevich - Director, CEO

Born in a place that no longer exists in a different millennium, Dovid decided that he needed to first go through tons of homework and have $100,000 in student loans in order to relate better to students.  Hope this worked! :)

Elisa Gurevich - Director, CEO & CFO

Born in Massachussetts in the last century, Elisa hails from back east and still yearns for it once in a while.  She is a great hostess and Torah teacher with clear grasp of Jewish concepts and laws.  She is also a talented baker and cook for all things gourmet and kosher.  Come Friday night and taste for yourself!
