Meet our House Rabbi

Rav Yirmiyahu UllmanRabbi Yirmiyahu Ullman is Director of the Torah & Religious Services department at Beit Tovei Ha’Ir.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, he studied at Harvard University before coming to Israel, becoming a Rabbi and teaching at Ohr Somayach Yeshiva. He is married to Hamutal and they have 12 children.

Rabbi Ullman enjoys teaching Torah to seniors: “Having worked with young people until now, I really appreciate the opportunity to learn with and from older people, who have such rich life experience to share.

It is a pleasure for me to work in a place where the management are personally invested in the residents’ quality of life and demonstrate phenomenal sensitivity to their needs.”
