AVODAS HAKODESH AWARD
MR.
Moishe
ROSENTHAL
GESHER L’YESHIVOS
Mr. Moishe Rosenthal is admired for his genuine sense of caring and concern
for others, along with his keen understanding and insight which guide people
in all sorts of situations.
Together with his long-time friend Shuli Halpert and their organization,
Gesher L’Yeshivos, Moishe has helped place hundreds of boys and girls in
suitable elementary & high schools, Batei Midrash, or other institutions where
they are able to thrive and develop. The needs of these kids are varied and
every situation has its own extenuating circumstances. Moishe’s talents and
abilities enable him to successfully meet with youngsters and their parents,
assess the situation, and work with directors of schools to build bridges and
create solutions.
Moishe and his wife Chaykie also open their heart and home to singles,
hosting them for Shabbos meals, and, when possible, guiding them through
shidduchim, marriage, and setting up their own homes.
After attending Yeshiva Toras Emes, then located in his native Boro Park,
Moishe learned in Mirrer Yeshiva High School. He went on to Ner Yisroel in
Toronto before arriving in BMG in Lakewood, where he spent a number of
years as a Kollel avreich. The Rosenthals then returned to New York, where
Moishe joined – and eventually took over – Rite Lite Ltd., an international
Judaica business founded by his father, Reb Yaakov Rosenthal, z”l. Reb
Yaakov was an outstanding talmid chochom and ba’al eitzah; his son Moishe
credits him as his mentor and inspiration for providing helpful advice and
guidance.
The Rosenthals are active members of Bais Medrash Torah U’Tefilah and
have a close kesher with its rav, Rav Shimon Alster, shlita. Their children,
Aviva and Yair Oksenberg, Esti and Zvi Pinter, Shai and Tziporah Rosenthal,
and Eliyahu and Shayna Rosenthal are all continuing in their path of Torah
and Chessed.
