Rabbi Shlomo Eisenberg hails from the frigid city of Rochester NY, but makes up for it with his warmth and excitement for Judaism and community building. Rabbi Eisenberg is excited to grow the Norfolk community through giving an array of captivating shiurim, inspirational drashos, popular learning and social programming, and expanded shul engagement throughout the community. He will provide caring leadership and pastoral guidance for our congregants and their families.
Rabbi Eisenberg attended Mechina and Beis Medrash at Yeshivas Ner Yisroel for an initial 8 years. After studying in the Mir Yeshiva in Yerushalayim, he returned to Baltimore for an additional 5 years of Kollel. After receiving his semicha from the yeshiva, Shlomo joined the St. Louis Community Kollel for 3 years, where he gained experience teaching Torah classes to the community and leading Jewish educational programs. Before moving to Norfolk, the Eisenbergs lived in Columbus, Ohio where Rabbi Eisenberg served as the Assistant Rabbi at Congregation Beth Jacob.
