Our Rabbi
Rabbi Chaim Wilansky, his wife Esther, and their three children moved to Bangor in August of 2015. He has served as Rabbi of Beth Abraham Synagogue and provided Judaism for the Jews of Northern Maine for close to 10 years. Rabbi Wilansky is a warm, and caring individual, who strives to share the beauty of Yiddishkeit with others. He is dedicated to sharing and providing Jewish knowledge and services for the community and beyond. Rabbi Wilansky brings the lessons of the Torah to life in a meaningful and relevant way to all those who attend his services and classes. Throughout the year, he brings holiday cheer, visits the elderly, and gives his time to study and learn with people both in groups and individually.
Rabbi Wilansky joined the Rabbinical field when he received his Smicha from Rabbi Yeroslavski of Israel at Yeshiva Beis Dovid Shlomo of New Haven, CT.
