Benjamin Ehrenfeld holds a Bachelor's of Music in Music Therapy from the Berklee College of Music and is in the process of completing a Master's in Jewish Studies and UMJC Rabbinical Ordination through Messianic Jewish Theological Institute (MJTI). He is honored to count himself among those Messianic Jews committed to a life of covenantal faithfulness empowered with all the subsequent joys and responsibilities that identity entails.
Benjamin lives in Brighton, MA and serves as a member, lay-chazzan, Rabbinical Intern, and Director of Ritual Life for Congregation Ruach Israel. He works as a case coordinator for adults in a psychiatric group home in the greater Boston area. Benjamin is the editor for The Set Table (a young Messianic weekly Torah and Besora commentary) and is a member of the MJTI student recruitment team. He is also a weekly contributor to the Riverton Mussar website.
Benjamin is deeply in love with God and Messiah, his family now and yet to come, the Messianic Jewish community he is called to serve, and his friends made along the journey.
On the MJRC:
"I see the MJRC as an integral community within the larger Messianic Jewish landscape helping to shape a movement that is both standing at a crossroads and pushing the boundaries. The MJRC recognizes the unity of commitment to traditional Torah values and the message of the coming Kingdom of Yeshua...Indeed it brings out treasures old and new. I am deeply thankful and humbled to join this community and its conversation that will speak into the life of a renewed community of Jews."
