Rav Lieff was the Rov of K’hal Bais Yisroel in Minneapolis for more than 20 years, and replaces Rav Pinchos Breuer Shlita, who moved to Eretz Yisroel a few months ago.

Dozens of Roshei Yeshiva and Rabbonim attended the event, with speakers including Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky Shlita (Rosh Yeshiva Philadelphia), and Rav Shlomo Mandel Shlita (R”Y of Yeshiva of Brooklyn)

Rav Lieff attended Yeshivas Kol Torah in Yerushalayim, where he studied under the Posek Hador, Hagon Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach ZATZAL, and received Semicha & was a close Talmid of Maran Hagon Rav Shmuel Berenbaum, ZATZAL, Rosh Yeshivas Mirrer Yeshiva in New York.

Rav Lieff has addressed hundreds of events across the nation as a guest speaker, is known as one of the Magidei Shiurim on Dial-a-Daf, and Torah Tapes, and has been the Rov in Minneapolis for the past 19 years.

Rav Lieff has received a Bracha from Maran Rav Chaim Kaneievsky Shlita and other Gedolim that he should have much Hatzlacha in his new position.

Agudas Yisroel Bais Binyomin was founded over 21 years ago by a few Baal HaBatim and has grown into a Kehilla of well over 200 Families K”Y.  The first Morah D’asra was Harav Ytzchok Hacohen Isbee ZT”L who led the Kehilla for aprox 10 years until his untimely petira in 1997.

“The board and membership of AIBB feel Blessed by Hashem to be able to find a Rov with such renowned and extraordinary qualities. We pray that we may look forward to a very long and rewarding bond with this exceptional and gifted Morah D’asrah”.
