Rabbi Shmuel Silber

As our spiritual leader, Rabbi Silber plays a significant role in our community and life-long learning at Suburban Orthodox, Congregation Toras Chaim. Knowledgeable and approachable, he brings an innovative and fresh perspective to the congregation and the community at large. His dedication and commitment is demonstrated time and again by his scholarly shiurim, classes, and programs as well as providing a strong caring presence during times of simcha and sorrow. These strengths combined with his joy of Judaism and dedication to Zionism help to support a foundation based upon a Modern Orthodox environment that our congregation's ideals rest upon.

Prior to coming to Suburban Orthodox, Rabbi Silber was the Assistant Rabbi of Congregation Shomrei Torah, in Fair Lawn, NJ. While at Shomrei Torah, he was also Director of Education for KOF-K Kosher Supervision, an international Kashrus agency based in Teaneck, NJ. Rabbi Silber received Semicha (ordination) from Yeshiva University and is currently continuing his rabbinic education in the Kollel L'Horaah, which offers an advanced Yadin Yadin Semicha and qualifies one to be a Dayan (rabbinic judge). In addition he has received a Masters degree in Secondary Jewish Education from Azrieli Graduate School.

Currently Rabbi Silber is Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Rambam and recently had an essay published in a book titled "The Melting Pot" in honor of Israel's 60th Birthday. Rabbi Silber and his wife Aviva B'H have six children.
