Rabbi Yitzchok Schlissel

Meet Rabbi Yitzchok Schlissel

Rabbi Schlissel has an unbridled passion for teaching and reaching his talmidim. Students instantly connect with him, and stay connected long after they leave his shiur, because of his ability to listen and truly understand them. As Menahel of our DACHS Honors Track, Rabbi Schlissel is constantly finding new ways to elevate the Torah learning and growth of the high school talmidim.

What I do

I take high school boys and help them experience the true joy that comes with really learning b’iyun. I try to infuse them with a sense of excitement for living the life of a Ben Torah. Each Gemara we learn together and every program arranged is an opportunity to help my talmidim grow in their avodas Hashem.

How I make a difference at YTCTE

When students feel you genuinely understand and relate to them, they become more receptive. I take the time to really listen to my students, so I can help them achieve success beyond what they thought was possible for them.

My favorite part about what I do

There’s nothing better than seeing a talmid overcome a challenge, using skills you helped them develop.

Parting Words

What attracted me to YTCTE was the seviva and culture. You can feel the top-notch care and concern for each student emanating from every teacher and administrator.
