Lakewood Native Rav Moshe Rosenbaum today became the first English-speaking Dayan in the Lishkas Haposkim.

The Lishkas Haposkim was founded by Hagaon Rav Chaim Kanievsky ZT”L approximately six years ago, with the goal to establish Dayanim who can Pasken Shailos, as well as have on standby a group of Dayanim who on rotation are available 24 hours a day to provide answers to Shailos in Halacha. The director of the Mosad is Reb Ovadia Huminer.

Rav Rosenbaum, currently a Toronto resident, was brought on board to service the growing number of English-speaking residents in Eretz Yisroel, a roll he will perform from abroad. He will also serve as their writer for English version of their Halacha pamphlets.

Rav Shlomo Kahn, the Av Bais Din in Melbourne, Australia, and one of the Roshei Hamosad, welcomed Rav Rosenbaum to the organization at their headquarters in in Beitar Illit, and handed him a certificate of achievement.
