Next Scholar in Residence Feb 12 - 13

Matt and Sabrina Rosenberg will be WAM's guests for the next Shabbat in the "Climbing the Ladder" series.

Matt grew up in rainy Portland, Oregon, where helped found the local chapter of NCSY. Following high school, he attended Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh in Israel before continuing on to Yeshiva University, where he graduated with a BA in Psychology, magna cum laude. He received his Master's in Talmudic Law from Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore, Maryland, where he is a candidate for s'micha. He has taught Torah on five continents (including Africa) and in many communities across the United States. Matt is a talented musician and singer, and a terrible athlete. He enjoys travel, cooking for Shabbos with his wife Sabrina, and scouring Wikipedia for random facts.

Sabrina hails from sunny Los Angeles (yes, she knows celebrities). After high school she spent a year learning at Michlelet Esther on the Neve Yerushalayim campus in Jerusalem. She studied Communications and Social Work at New York University, and is now completing her BA in Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of Maryland. She hopes to pursue a MSW (Must Save World) and to work subsequently within the Jewish Community. Sabrina is an avid snowboarder, aspiring photographer, and world traveler. She has even gone skydiving and is much more adventurous than her husband.

The Rosenbergs reside in Baltimore, where they are Jewish Learning Initiative Fellows at Johns Hopkins University. They love having Shabbos guests - so let them know if plan to be in the Baltimore area!
