Rabbi Chaim Zvi Senter

Author: Meaningful Minute May 24, 2020 Duration: 1:02:19

Growing up in Teaneck, NJ, Rabbi Senter's parents raised him to develop a deep love and yearning for knowledge and Torah. He moved to Israel with his rebbitzen and learned in the Mir yeshiva for 5 years before starting to give shiur to a group of talmidim.

In 2006, Rabbi Chaim Zvi Senter founded Yeshivas Aderes Hatorah on the philosophy that "every talmid with a desire to excel in his learning deserves the attention and support needed to truly do so".

Rabbi Senter is known for his groundbreaking ideas and approach towards everything he does. In this episode, the Rosh Hayeshiva talks about the importance of pushing through the failures and celebrating one's successes.
