Rabbi Elliot Schrier Named Mara D’Atra of Bnai Yeshurun By Elizabeth Kratz | April 28, 2021
After an exhaustive 18-month rabbinic search and interview process, punctuated by a global pandemic, Rabbi Elliot Schrier was named mara d’atra of Teaneck’s Congregation Bnai Yeshurun (CBY). The role became available when Rabbi Steven Pruzansky announced plans to make aliyah in 2019, after more than a quarter century serving at the helm of Teaneck’s 530-families-strong shul. Rabbi Schrier will join the rabbinic team of Rabbi Ari Zahtz and Assistant Rabbi Yosef Weinberger.
Rabbi Schrier, who grew up in Woodmere, will complete his move to CBY late this summer as he winds up his rabbinic duties at the Albert Einstein Synagogue at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, where he has served since 2016.
