Heichal HaTorah Expands Leadership Team By Jewish Link Staff | May 13, 2021
When Heichal HaTorah began eight years ago with 17 ninth-grade students, Rav Aryeh Stechler, the founding rosh yeshiva, was the only full-time administrator. Rav Stechler coordinated all aspects of the yeshiva, assisted by a small group of lay leaders led by Yehuda and Yael Jacoby.
Heading into its ninth year, the yeshiva has expanded enormously: Over 235 talmidim are expected to enroll 185 talmidim in the high school and over 50 talmidim studying in its post-Israel Yeshiva and College Institute.
Heichal is home to a full educational and operational leadership team that includes: Rabbi Maccabee Avishur, academic dean and general studies principal; Rav Daniel Schwechter, mashgiach of the high school; Rav Moshe Don Kestenbaum, mashgiach of the beis midrash program; Dr. Ari Klein, director of guidance; Rabbi Avi Epstein, director of admissions; Teri Normand, executive director;
