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. We sometimes bring students to the Residence to learn Torah or dance with our residents, and they also recognize them as worthy role models. 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.”
