Rabbi Yitzchok Goldstein holds a Masters degree in counseling psychology and has completed considerable coursework in education and administration. Since arriving in Denver in 1998 with his family, Rabbi Goldstein has been on the faculty of Hillel Academy. In 2005, he assumed administrative responsibilities.
Rabbi Goldstein strongly believes in educating the whole child with the Torah and yiras shamayim (reverence of G-d)
at the very center. Respecting the social, emotional, physical, and spiritual facets of the child and recognizing that each child has a unique derech (path) is central to his educational philosophy.
Rabbi Goldstein is active with the Consortium of Jewish Day Schools, Torah U’Mesorah and is involved with the Harvard Principals Center.
Rabbi Goldstein’s goal is to advance Hillel Academy, allowing for unlimited potential, as it enters a new era of growth to the benefit of the Jewish community of Colorado.
