Meet the Rabbi

Rabbi Yehuda Meyers was born and raised in Chicago. He pursued advanced Torah studies in Israel at Yeshivat Sha’alvim and Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim, and prior to returning to the United States, he spent time engaged in Jewish outreach with the community in Berlin, Germany.

Rabbi Meyers studied at Yeshiva University, where he learned under the guidance of Rabbi Hershel Schachter, Rabbi Mayer Twersky, and Rabbi Shalom Carmy, while simultaneously earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. He received rabbinical ordination (Semichah) from the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS) and an M.A. in Jewish Education from the Azrieli Graduate School.

During his semichah studies, Rabbi Meyers developed his rabbinic, educational, and leadership skills through a range of communal roles, including Rabbinic Intern at the Riverdale Jewish Center, Education Director of Beit Chaverim Hebrew School, Program Director of Stamford NCSY, and Youth Director at the Young Israel of Riverdale. Most recently, he served as a Talmud and Tanach teacher at Ida Crown Jewish Academy and as a fellow in the Yeshiva University Torah MiTzion Kollel.

In addition to his rabbinic work, Rabbi Meyers holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, bringing a thoughtful and compassionate perspective to his leadership. He is a member of the Chicago Rabbinical Council and serves on its Board of Directors.

Rabbi Meyers, his wife Martha, and their children are excited to be part of the LJCAGBI community.
