Rabbi Chaim Goldberg

Rabbi Chaim Goldberg is serving as a reservist in the IDF Rabbinate. In civilian life, he teaches Torah, works as a psychologist for the Dead Sea Regional Council and writes for Jewish publications across the country, including a regular column at the Denver-based Intermountain Jewish News. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife and children.

The 42-year-old head of the IDF Rabbinate’s women’s Jewish burial society, has been far too busy since the terrorist onslaught two years ago.
Special emphasis is dedicated to ensuring that every base has a “Scroll of Esther” written on parchment.
It is supplying nearly 150,000 menorahs for Israeli soldiers this Chanukah, including one never seen before.
The story of Maj. Rabbi Avi Goldberg illustrates how these rabbis have become an inseparable part of combat battalions in Gaza and Lebanon.
In the latest edition of Israeli innovation comes a truly special model this year: the “Frontline Soldier’s Sukkah.”
