Rabbi Nachman Wilhelm conceived the Online Smicha (Rabbinical Ordination) program and serves as its primary educator and guide, where he has served for the past decade. A speaker and author of numerous books on Halachic (Jewish Law) subjects, Rabbi Wilhelm was Rosh Yeshiva (Dean of a Torah Academy) for 14 years in S. Paul, Minnesota. While he is recognized as someone with vast knowledge in Torah subjects, he is equally—if not more so—known for his warmth and positivity.
