About the teachers:

Rabbi Ahron Y. Wasserman, Director of The Jewish Experience, received his rabbinic ordination and Master’s of Talmudic Studies from Beth Medrash Gevoha in Lakewood, NJ. Descended from a long line of Jewish communal leaders, Rabbi Wasserman began leading and organizing youth groups and community events as a child. Passionate about the growth and development of the Denver Jewish Community, he is the visionary who charts the course of the organization. In between organizing, teaching, fundraising and attending community events, he enjoys continuing Talmud study and an occasional run down a Colorado slope.
Rabbi Raphael Leban is the Outreach Director of The Jewish Experience. Born in Virginia, he studied at the Mir Yeshiva in Israel and received his Rabbinic Ordination from Rabbi Z. N. Goldberg of the Jerusalem Beis Din. The author of the weekly publication Sparks of Torah, he has a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and a Master’s degree in Judaic Studies. An avid skier, Rabbi Leban teaches, shmoozes and serves as Director of The Jewish Experience Center in the JCC.
