Cambridge & East Anglia

Rabbi Yekutiel and Netanya Greiff have made the move to Cambridge from Jerusalem, and they're joining the UJC team with their 10 month-old son.

Rabbi Yekutiel has dedicated nearly six years to learning Jewish studies in Tzfat (Safed). Before becoming a Chaplain, he taught Gemara and Tanach to high school boys in Jerusalem. His passion for chassidis, Hasidic thought, has led his search for truth which he loves sharing with others.

Netanya moved to Israel five years ago, where she worked in the field of Public Relations and Social Media. She most recently led a fellowship partnered with Hebrew University, designed to train gap year students to become Jewish leaders once on campus. She has an extensive background in informal education, working with Jewish youth groups and leading student trips across the US and Israel.

For the last three years, Rabbi Yekutiel and Netanya have run a weekly Torah learning group in Jerusalem for lone soldiers and college students. Through their work with these college-aged young adults, they came to the conclusion that working on a campus would be the best fit. They are eager to support the Jewish students in Cambridge and East Anglia, providing a warm and vibrant Jewish "home away from home."
