Rabbi Simcha Sussman grew up in Far Rockaway NY, and is a Talmid of Yeshivas Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin. Throughout his 20 plus years in chinuch- in camp, the classroom, as Mashgiach, or as Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Sussman’s Derech of Harbatzas HaTorah perpetuates the beliefs of his Rebbeim- HaRav Yitzchok Hutner zt”l, HaRav Shlomo Freifeld zt”l and HaRav Aharon Schechter zt”l. The key to ALL growth in Torah and Avodas Hashem is through helping a Talmid identify, connect, and cultivate the unlimited Kochos that lay within him. By doing this, a bochur can propel himself to Gadlus in a fashion never imaginable. Rabbi Sussman’s warmth and engaging personality, his dedication to every talmid on an individual basis, coupled with his unique Koach haNegina, has facilitated the growth of countless Talmidim into true Bnei Torah.
