studied for many years at Yeshivat Har Etzion, was a member of Yeshiva University’s Gruss Kollel

School curriculum into an innovative four year semikha program which provides its students with
rigorous halakhic study and sophisticated professional training in the context of a religious atmosphere
which cultivates openness and inclusiveness. In addition to overseeing the Yeshiva's Torah curriculum,
he teaches advanced halakha in a broad range of areas across all four sections of the Shulchan Aruch –
including Kashrut, Ishut and Niddah, and Shabbat and Eruvin. Rabbi Linzer teaches advanced classes
