Rabbi Dov Linzer (Hebrew: דב נתן לינזר; born September 16, 1966) is the President and Rabbinic Head (Rosh HaYeshiva) of Yeshivat Chovevei Torah Rabbinical School in Riverdale, New York. He is a teacher, lecturer, podcaster, and author.
He has a BA in Philosophy from the University of Maryland, Semicha from the Israeli Rabbinate and is a doctoral candidate in Religion at Columbia University. He is an alumnus of Yeshivat Har Etzion and Yeshiva University's Gruss Kollel Elyon. Rabbi Linzer has been a scholar-in-residence in synagogues across the United States, and has published in numerous Talmudic journals and Jewish newspapers. Previously, he headed the Boca Raton Kollel, one of the first Modern Orthodox kollels, for the first two-and-a-half years of its existence.[1][2]
In 2011, Newsweek ranked him among the 50 most prominent rabbis in the United States, [3] stating that "Linzer's students now hold some of the most prominent positions in shuls and Hillels all over the country" and that his school's "alumni will undoubtedly alter the fabric of Modern Orthodoxy."
In 2008, Linzer received the prestigious Avi Chai Fellowship,[4][5] awarded to emerging communal and educational leaders.
