Meet the Leibs

A native of Chicago, Rabbi Jason Leib attended Yeshiva University and made aliyah in 2000. He studied for three years at Beit Morasha in Jerusalem and went on to teach at Yeshivat Hakibbutz Hadati in Ein Tzurim. In addition to teaching Talmud and Jewish Thought, Jason served as a mentor at the Daroma student beit midrash at Ben Gurion University for the past four years, where he taught a wide array of Jewish topics. Jason's experience has instilled in him a special love for teaching, and his favorite part of teaching is his interactions with students both inside and outside of the classroom.
Jason's hobbies include playing with his children, reading, and watching TV. He is married to Chana and they have two children, five-year-old Betzalel and three-year-old Nitai. Although he has spent ample time abroad, Jason will never shake his Midwestern roots. So, when it comes time for football season, Go Bears!

Chana Leib was born in Cleveland, Ohio and made aliyah as a young child. As a teenager, Chana was frequently involved with various informal education programs. She studied Talmud at Migdal Oz, the Bet Midrash for Women, and subsequently earned a degree in Law and Liberal Arts (LLB) from Hebrew University. Since graduating in 2004, Chana worked in the legal field, most recently as a legal assistant for a judge in the District Court of Be'er Sheva. Chana is almost finished with her Masters in Law (LLM) through a joint program between Tel Aviv University and Northwestern University.
Throughout the years, Chana never gave up her love of learning Talmud and Jewish law. She specifically became involved with ethical issues in Jewish law.
Chana enjoys playing and baking with her sons, Betzalel and Nitai, and she especially enjoys reading to them. She knew her time spent baking with her sons was well spent when Nitai saw snow for the first time and exclaimed, "Flour! There is so much flour outside!
