Rabbi Ben and Ellie Menora recently joined the JLIC Mizrachi Herzliya team as Co-Directors. Previously, they had been Co-Directors of JLIC at Binghamton since 2021. They live in Herzliya with their children Maayan, Hodaya Malka, Moshe, Ayelet Rachel and Adi Rivka.
Rav Ben made Aliya as a kid from Chicago, IL. He served 3 years in IDF’s Golani brigade, learned in Yeshivat Kerem B’Yavneh (KBY) both before and after his army service, then earned an LL.B. at Bar-Ilan University, splitting his time between the law library and the BIU Kollel. After 2 years at a corporate law firm, Ben joined the Kollel at Yeshivat Har Etzion (Gush) studied education at Herzog College, and taught 7th grade boys for a stint. When he can find the time, Ben enjoys a good run, jam session, any kind of puzzle, and a good schmooze.
Ellie made Aliya from London with her parents and five siblings. She started training in gymnastics and swimming at the age of 5 and is a certified instructor in both. Ellie studied at Midreshet Tehillah, earned her BSN at Machon Tal in Jerusalem, and is a trained kallah teacher. Before moving to Binghamton, Ellie was an ER nurse in Shaare Zedek hospital and volunteered as a medic for Magen David Adom. Ellie thoroughly enjoys hiking, running, swimming and a good cup of coffee.
