About the Author


Rabbi Menachem Lehrfield

Rabbi Menachem Lehrfield is the Director of the Jewish Outreach Initiative, a bold initiative that is taking Denver by storm.

Rabbi Lehrfield received his M.Ed from Loyola University, Chicago and received two rabbinic ordinations – from Yeshivas Beis Yisroel in Jerusalem, and from Rabbi Zalman Nechemia Goldberg, the former Chief Justice of the Jerusalem High Court.

Rabbi Lehrfield’s passion lies not only in spreading the beauty and relevance of Judaism to all Jews, but in photography, graphic design, mountain climbing and snowboarding. His warmth, genuine love for every Jew, and approachability allow him to connect with people of all ages and from all backgrounds.
