Rabbi Tuvia Goldstein

Rabbi Goldstein grew up in Northeast Philadelphia, where he attended Politz Hebrew Academy, in the City’s Bustleton section.  After graduating from Politz, he pursued his rabbinical training at Yeshiva Darchei Torah in Far Rockaway, New York, under the guidance of the venerable Rabbi Yaakov Bender.   Following completion of yeshiva high school and rabbinical college at Darchei Torah, Rabbi Goldstein continued his studies, doing post-graduate work at the Meir and Shaarei HaTalmud, both  in Jerusalem.

Rabbi Goldstein is well-known in the Philadelphia Jewish community.  He and his brother, Rabbi Gedalia Goldstein, founded and continue to direct Camp Achdus, a highly regarded summer day camp which now serves more than sixty boys from the Philadelphia area.      

                        Rabbi Goldstein is also part of the staff of rabbis at Philadelphia Community Kollel, which fosters Jewish education and awareness through an energetic program of Torah study and teaching.  In addition, he is on staff at Congregation Beth Hamedrosh in Wynnewood, where he teaches adult and youth classes, and runs a very successful teen program. 

                        Rabbi Goldstein is a valued teacher and friend to many in the Jewish community.  In both his teaching and his personal counsel, Rabbi Goldstein combines his knowledge and rabbinic training with his genuine warmth and engaging personality.

                        In recognition of his many contributions to the Philadelphia Jewish community, Rabbi Goldstein was recently honored by Politz Academy as its Distinguished Alumnus for 2009. 

                        Rabbi Goldstein’s greatest joys are his wife, Chani, and his 8-month old daughter Brocha.
