Meet our Rabbi

Rabbi Anthony Knopf

The Jewish Educational Center Elmora Shul is proud to have Rabbi Anthony Knopf at the helm as its spiritual leader. Coming to us from Cong. Beth Ora (Montreal, CA), where the Knopfs helped build a warm, engaged, and dynamic Torah-true community, Rabbi Knopf is known for his thought-provoking shiurim, meaningful pastoral care, and passion for engagement, and his family has been deeply involved in strengthening Jewish life, fostering spiritual growth, and bringing people together through Torah and chessed initiatives.

Originally from England and South Africa, Rabbi Knopf holds s'micha from Rav Zalman Nechemia Goldberg z'l' and Darche Noam (Jerusalem, IL). He is a proud disciple of the teachings of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks z'l' and currently is a Sacks Scholar, working on projects that integrate Jewish moral education with modern challenges.

Rabbi Knopf and his wife, Carly Miriam, are blessed with four children.

Rabbi Knopf can be reached at his office, 908-355-4850 x104, on his cell phone, 514-714-6559, or by email.

Our community is greatly enhanced by the presence of Rabbi and Mrs. Knopf and their family.
