Rabbi Yaakov and Ruth Glasser Reflect on YIPC, Leadership and the Modern Orthodox

World

By Mitch Morrison

His voice strains to the women’s balcony as the balls of his feet bounce rhythmically

with each punctuation. His congregation – one that has grown by more than 200 per-

cent since he arrived more than a decade ago – is captivated, eagerly awaiting the

punchline.

The scene repeats itself week after week at the Young Israel of Passaic-Clifton, where

Rabbi Yaakov Glasser skillfully mixes a cocktail of scholarship, inspiration and a dash of

humor.

West Coast natives, Rabbi Glasser and his wife, Ruth, a school psychologist at the Jo-

seph Kushner Hebrew Academy in Livingston, N.J., settled in Passaic during the hous-

ing boom of 2005.

In a matter of weeks, the Yeshiva University musmach, whose oratory weaves a posi-

tive pitch with structured scholarship, found himself in two distinctive positions: Rabbi

at the Young Israel of Passaic-Clifton (YIPC) and Regional Director of New Jersey NCSY.

“My passion for communal work comes entirely from my upbringing,” Rabbi Glasser

shares. “My parents were always involved in major leadership roles in professional

communal life. Our home was always a center for programming, networking, hosting,

and fundraising for various causes in the community.”

“The Shul has really become an extension of our family. They have been there to sup-

port us in times of times of great challenge and to celebrate with us in times of great

simcha,” says Ruth Glasser.

Teen Spirit

As often as the Glassers poke fun at the Northeastern winters and meteorological un-

certainties, these Californians actually had their roots firmly planted in Greater New

York. Rabbi Glasser was born in New York, before his parents, Paul and Rachel, moved

the family to Los Angeles when he was five. It was in LA, where he would meet his fu-

ture wife, Ruth Lowenstein, who was born in the Garden State before her family relo-

cated to LA when she was three.

More than geography, both shared a strong, religious Modern Orthodox upbringing

anchored in communal life and both religious and academic scholarship.

“My parents were in leadership roles in NCSY in high school and in advisory roles in

college,” Rabbi Glasser says. Paul Glasser continues to serve as a chazzan for high holi-

days (yomim noraim) and works at YU, after having spent much of his professional

years at the national NCSY, and Rachel Glasser was active throughout her high-school

years in NCSY, including holding leadership positions, subsequently working in the

field of Judaic librarianship.

So it’s hardly a surprise that Rabbi Glasser would follow his parents’ footsteps at a

young age. “I began my involvement in 10th grade in my local chapter and eventually

became co-chapter president and a member of the regional board,” he offers. “I used

to give shiurim in high school to public school students in tefilah (prayer) and emunah

(faith).

“I was also part of the band that played most of the Shabbatonim and conventions at

the time – Kol HaNearim. NCSY and the band were very formative experiences in my

life. They taught me about leadership, teamwork, organization, creativity, and most of

all, infused my Judaism with a deep sense of passion and inspiration.”

Rabbi Glasser’s passion for learning and music continued when he enrolled at Yeshiva

University. “I began my professional involvement in college – exclusively as a musician.

I was very focused on my Torah learning and my academics.”

During his years at YU’s rabbinical school, the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Semi-

nary, he accepted a position as educational director for New Jersey Junior NCSY and, 3

years later, as its director -- all while remaining in the Kollel Lehorah at YU and pursu-

ing a Master’s degree in Jewish education.

“I loved working with NCSY,” says Rabbi Glasser. “It provided the emotional, experi-

ential, and inspirational dimension of Judaism to Jewish teens across the spectrum

of affiliation. I loved working with students from Orthodox homes who were search-

ing for meaning and growth in their Judaism, and I loved introducing Judaism to

teens who were unaffiliated.

“…I embraced working with teens, a population that many find difficult. I discov-

ered that by listening to them, respecting them, and believing in them one could

reveal a spark of leadership and enthusiasm that was unlimited in its capacity to

change the world. NCSY will always be a major part of who I am.

Educational Focus

The daughter of Dr. Steven and the late Marilynn Lowenstein, Ruth Glasser has al-

ways enjoyed a thirst for knowledge.

“My parents both valued education - they both had advanced degrees, but even

more than that, they were always learning and growing more in their respective

fields,” she says. “This focus on education definitely influenced my decision to get

my doctorate in psychology, and gave me the extra push I sometimes needed to fin-

ish my dissertation.”

For the past eight years, Ruth has served as school psychologist at the Joseph Kush-

ner Hebrew Academy in Livingston, N.J., working with kids from 5th through 8th

grade. “It is such an incredible and exciting time in a child’s life,” Ruth says, “and I

feel it is a time of tremendous transformation and growth.

“They are at an age where they are still open to adult input and guidance, and they

learn so many of the life skills that they will take with them throughout their lives. I

feel fortunate to be able to support and guide them during this crucial time.”

It is perhaps this sense of guiding and supporting that united the Glassers, parents

of four children, in their communal work and at the Young Israel, a shul recognized

for being family friendly and offering programming for youths and adults, men and

women.

“Shul was always a major part of my life growing up, and my parents were always

very committed to the shuls that we were members of,” says Ruth. “My parents

wanted to ensure that we were always very comfortable in shul and would bring us

there at an early age.

“I distinctly remember sitting on my mother’s lap in shul on the yomim noraim as a

young girl. I always went to the shul’s youth groups as a kid, davened in the teen

minyan and was very involved in the shul’s NCSY chapter, eventually serving as co-

chapter president,” she recalls. “It is something that I think is so important to create

for the youth of our shul – a sense of comfort and ownership.”

A New Beginning

For five decades 200 Brook Avenue stood as the home of the YIPC. In recent years,

though, age and neglect left the structure not only unsafe but inadequate to meet

the growing needs of a thriving congregation.

Led by the Glassers, shul president Dr. Scott Goldberg and others, YIPC embarked on

a significant fund drive to build a new shul. From the outset, the Glassers were un-

ambiguous – it’s not just a structure but a true center for learning, prayer, youth

groups, adult education and more.

Launched before the Great Recession, the project took longer than originally

planned, but shortly after last Sukkot, the congregation of roughly 140 households

moved into their new home.

“Building the new shul was an incredible and life changing experience,” says Rabbi

Glasser. “There were never moments when I thought it would not happen – but

there were absolutely moments when I was sure it couldn’t happen naturally.

“There were numerous hurdles that were overcome with the open guidance of G-d,”

he continues. “I am, by nature, a builder. My role in NCSY, and my role in shul fo-

cused upon building – it is the aspect of community leadership I enjoy the most. No

single individual built our building. It was a combined effort of many people – who

devoted an incredible amount of time and resources to making it a reality.

“My aspirations for the shul now are to keep building. Not physically, but spiritually

emotionally and programmatically.”

And while the YIPC continues to attract new members, Rabbi Glasser is also building

a more vibrant Modern and Centrist Orthodoxy across North America.

After an impressive tenure with NCSY, Rabbi Glasser was approached by Rabbi Ken-

neth Brander to join YU’s Center for a Jewish Future – a division of YU that works

with Rabbis, educators, and lay leaders to meet the increasingly complex needs of

congregational and communal life.

“My years of communal experience in NCSY and pulpit had led me to believe that

the Modern Orthodox community needed a larger plan for spiritual and inspirational

engagement.

Page 10: Young Israel of Passaic / Clifton - Amazon S3€¦ · Young Israel of Passaic / Clifton 200 Brook Ave, Passaic, NJ 07055 Chaim Wasserman Rabbi Emeritus Scott Goldberg ... Sarah Goldstein

“…At YU, I work, meet with and work regularly with some of the greatest minds and

most accomplished professionals in the world of education, mental health, rabbin-

ics, and other areas of communal leadership. I have had the opportunity to speak

to high schools, serve as scholar in residence in communities across the country,

share experiences and guidance with rabbinic students, beginning rabbis in the

field, and Rebbetzins as well.

“It is an exhilarating and challenging experience,” Rabbi Glasser says, one that al-

lows him to give back to the place he called home for 10 years – Yeshiva University.

Making a Home

And while YU has served as a spiritual home for the Glassers, they have made Pas-

saic their permanent residence, with Young Israel as its core.

Here, they have raised their four children - Rina, Chaim, Neima and Meira – and cel-

ebrated many simchas.

“When we began in Rabbanus I don’t think I realized how close we would become

to our congregants,” Ruth says. “But looking back at some of the simchas that we

have recently celebrated, we have felt a unique connection to each person there

and it is truly one of the main highlights of being involved in the shul in this way.”

And for Rabbi Glasser, it is about being part of and enhancing a welcoming commu-

nity.

“I believe strongly in the value of community,” he says. “Since I arrived in Passaic, I

lament those families who have not found a home in one of the many wonderful

shuls that we have throughout the community.

“My goal is to create a communal framework within which a broad spectrum of in-

dividuals can realize their personal religious potential.”

Mazel Tov to our children,

Rabbi Yaakov and Dr. Ruth Glasser

There is an important symbiotic

relationship between a shul and its Rav and

Rebbitzen.

It is one of respect and kovod, one of care

and concern, and one of hope and potential.

As the Rabbi and Rebbitzen accepted the

initial challenge, the shul family quickly

understood that it was not just their

professional capability which is

evident in every dimension, but it was the

honesty and integrity of every

encounter between the Rabbi,

Rebbetzin and their congregants.

The greater Passaic community leans on this

Rav and his dynamic

Rebbitzen for guidance, halachic

Advice, and inspiration. The educational and

learning programs provided by the Rav have

left an indelible mark on the

entire community.

The skill with which halachic questions are

answered, and the sensitivity of the Rabbinic

personality in times of simcha and tragedy

have positioned the Rav

and Rebbitzen as not only "pastors" but as

true friends.

We've seen you focus on

building Jewish life and

firing up Jewish souls -

in NCSY, at YU, & Kushner.

But the heart & soul of what

you do is this shul &

the community

you've both created

In deed & lead by example.

We know firsthand that putting

community first has not

lessened your commitments to

family - neither ours or your

own. Your four amazing

children are proof of it, even if

they sometimes miss you.

And, beyond the shul, beyond

even your Shabbos table, we,

who knew you when, know you

as the people you truly are.

We couldn't be prouder.

Mazal Tov.

QUESTION:

What do these words have in common?

TALENTED, SINCERE, BRIGHT, CARING,

CHEESECAKE CONNOISSEUR, CREATIVE,

DYNAMIC, PESACH PROGRAM BUFFS, YOUNG,

ANSWER:

Rabbi Yaakov & Mrs. Ruth Glasser

aka Yaakov & Ruth

From the time that we met in 1999, I have

been amazed to see so much goodness and

talent in such a young couple, (I think you

had just turned 20). That amazement flowed

into inspiration as I saw firsthand your

sincerity and commitment for Klal Yisroel,

your dedication to Torah study, and your

constant striving in your own

personal lives.

“Praiseworthy are the people for whom this is

so”

How blessed is the community that have such

amazing people

as their role models and leaders.

generosity model Ahavas Yisrael.

All while you are raising a wonderful family

dedicated to Torah and Mitzvos.

Rabbi Glasser, you enhance our davening

and our shabbos table and generally

elevate the level of our discourse by your

Torah, your thoughts, your messages, and

your example. One nice thing to look

forward to the end of the summer is the

resumption of the kabbalas shabbos dvar

torah, and who else makes Tisha B'av a day

to look forward to.

Ruth, you have consistently impressed us

with your sound judgement and wisdom and

reasonableness on the vaad hachinuch of

YBH and your involvement is reassuring.

Mazal tov to our Rabbi & Rebbetzin on this

for the shul on a continuous basis:

Your drashos are a constant source of inspiration

It’ is a well-known fact that your sense of humor

both entertains & helps your message come across

stronger

Precise understanding and deep insights into human

psychology help us all grow as caring,

understanding Jews

Consternation, exegesis & vicissitudes are some of

your favorite words – yet somehow your message

comes across clear without us knowing what they

mean!

Rabbi & Rebbetzin – We are very lucky to have such a

wonderful couple as role models to lead and guide

us! Your care and concern for each member of your

Kehilla is much appreciated.
