About Rabbi Resnick and Jewish Clarity
We live in a world of chaos. Jews everywhere are grappling with questions and issues that go to the very heart of Jewish belief, life, and practice. Rabbi Asher Resnick launched JewishClarity.com in response to this confusion.
Rabbi Resnick is a disciple of the late Rabbi Noach Weinberg, zt”l, who was a genius at formulating and articulating Jewish foundations. After over thirty years of teaching, and training teachers, at Aish HaTorah, as well as numerous yeshivot, seminaries, and outreach programs, JewishClarity.com was launched to make Rabbi Resnick’s wealth of material accessible to a far wider audience.
JewishClarity.com is particularly focused on presenting the foundations of Judaism. Additionally, as a bereaved parent, Rabbi Resnick’s extensive writings on loss, suffering, and consolation provide a Jewish perspective on coping with these sensitive life issues.
About the Founder
Rabbi Asher Resnick was born and raised in LA, and graduated from UCLA with a BA in Psychology. He received rabbinic ordination from Aish HaTorah and the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem. He served as a senior lecturer at the Institute of Jewish Legal and Medical Ethics in San Francisco, and at the Aish HaTorah Branch in New York.
Rabbi Resnick is currently one of the Educational Coordinators of Aish’s Executive Learning Center. He’s also a senior training lecturer for Aish HaTorah’s Rabbinical Ordination program. As a close student of the late Rabbi Noach Weinberg zt”l, he learned a special skill in addressing fundamental issues in Judaism, as well as in bringing classical texts to life. He is now bringing the clarity he has developed over his past thirty-five years of experience in teaching, writing, and training other teachers, to the wider Jewish world.
His essays span all types of topics, from explanations of Jewish Holidays to answers about why there’s so much suffering in the world. He hopes that you not only read and enjoy them but also spread them to family and friends to share the insights and bring a little more clarity into the world.
