Baruch (Burry) Chait is an Orthodox Jewish rabbi, musician and composer. He is Rosh Yeshiva of the Israeli high school Maarava Machon Rubin.[1]
Personal life
He is the son of Rabbi Moshe Chait, the former Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivath Chafetz Chaim of Jerusalem, and is a student of Rabbi Henoch Leibowitz, former Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim of Forest Hills, New York.
Music career
Since the late 1960s, Chait has composed hundreds of Jewish religious songs that still have wide popularity and appeal. Included in this list is his original composition, "Kol Ha'Olam Kulo". He founded several bands including The Rabbis' Sons and Kol Salonika and has published dozens of records.[2] On February 27, 2022, Chait was inducted with the inaugural class of the Jewish Music Hall of Fame.
Educational career
Chait is the founder of Maarava Machon Rubin, a yeshiva high school that combines religious and secular studies at a level allowing completion of matriculation exams. The school caters to the Haredi sector but due to its inclusion of secular studies it draws many students from American backgrounds.
