Rav Yehoshua Landau
Beloved and respected as a dynamic, creative and caring Rebbi, Rav Landau’s devotion to his talmidim is legendary. Whether in Gemara shiur, during “Table Talk” or engaged in a chavruta with his students, Rav Landau can be found in the Beit Midrash, teaching, inspiring and mentoring talmidim throughout the morning, afternoon and until late each night.
Before making aliya, Rav Landau was a Rebbi and Director of Student Activities at Yeshiva University of Los Angeles (YULA) for ten years. Rav Landau learned at Yeshivat Kerem B’Yavneh and is a graduate and musmach of Yeshiva University - RIETS, with a B.S. in Computers and a Masters degree in Jewish Education from Azrieli Graduate School.
For the past 16 years, during the summer months, Rav Landau has successfully run the largest summer camp for kids in Ramat Beit Shemesh. Tens of thousands of children throughout the years have gained from Camp Landau - giving them the fun and inspiration that they need to power them through the next school year.
Because of this, and due to his astute understanding of what each child needs to reach his maximum potential, Rav Landau has fondly been dubbed "the Rabbi of the children" in Ramat Beit Shemesh.
