RENCONTRE

Alec Burroughs

Alec Burroughs is currently a rabbinical student at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah and has spent time learning at the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies, a pluralistic beit midrash based in Jerusalem, where he received certification as a Jewish Educator from the Pardes Educators Program as well as the Yashrut Classic Talmud Program.

Having received no formal Jewish education growing up, yet having a strong sense of Jewish identity and peoplehood, Alec set out to make up for lost time, and quickly fell in love with Jewish learning, and hopes to spread his love and enthusiasm of Jewish life, text, ritual and tradition with those interested.

Born and raised in New York City, Alec has been involved with a number of eclectic areas and prides himself on being able to find something in common with almost everyone.
