Rabbi Elie and Tamar Buechler are excited to come to OU-JLIC Columbia University/Barnard College this Summer 2022!

Rabbi Elie is from Dix Hills, New York and has been the Assistant Rabbi of The Jewish Center on Manhattan’s Upper West Side since 2019. After studying at Yeshivat Orayta, he attended Brandeis University, where he met Tamar, and then went on to receive semikha from RIETS at Yeshiva University. He holds a master’s degree in Medieval Jewish History from the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies.

Tamar (Ossip) is from Plainview, New York. She is completing her Psy.D. in School Psychology at Rutgers University and will be interning at Rutgers University Behavioral Healthcare. She studied at Midreshet Harova and Brandeis University.

As students at Brandeis, Rav Elie and Tamar were very involved with OU-JLIC, and they are ecstatic to join the team at Columbia/Barnard. Rav Elie and Tamar are the proud parents of their sons, Kobi and Eitan.
