Early life and education
[edit]Berman was raised in Queens in New York City, and graduated from the Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy in 1987.[1] He studied in Yeshivat Har Etzion in Alon Shevut before earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yeshiva College, graduating magna cum laude in 1991, rabbinical ordination from the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, and an M.A. in medieval Jewish philosophy from Bernard Revel Graduate School.[2][3][4]
Career
[edit]Berman served as rabbinic intern, assistant rabbi, and associate rabbi at The Jewish Center of Manhattan beginning in 1994, and was promoted to be their lead rabbi in 2000. He also taught Talmud in the Stone Beit Midrash Program of Yeshiva University starting in 1998.[5][6][7]
In 2008, he left the Jewish Center and moved to Israel, where he completed a Ph.D. in Jewish thought from Hebrew University under the guidance of Dr. Moshe Halbertal, on the topic of Ger Toshav – gentiles who accept the Noahide Laws – in Jewish Law of the Middle Ages. He also served as Rosh HaMerkaz, or head, of the Heichal Shlomo Jewish Heritage Center in Jerusalem and was an instructor at Herzog College. While in Israel, he resided in Neve Daniel.[5][6][8][9]
On November 16, 2016, Berman was named President of Yeshiva University.[5][9] He began his tenure on June 5, 2017, succeeding Richard Joel. The formal investiture ceremony took place the following September 10.[6]
Berman delivered the benediction at the second inauguration of President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. on January 20, 2025.[10][11] He is the first American-Israeli to deliver remarks at a presidential inauguration, as well as the second Orthodox rabbi to do so.[12][13]
