Rabbi Yisroel (affectionately known as Rav Sariel) Kalish has devoted more than two decades to a life of Torah learning, teaching, and mentoring. After learning at Ohr Yerushalayim, he spent four formative years in the beis medrash of Yeshivas Toras Moshe, where he developed a close relationship with the Rosh HaYeshiva, HaRav Moshe Meiselman שליט״א.

He is known not only for his engaging shiurim and clarity in learning, but for the genuine relationships he develops with his talmidim. For Rabbi Kalish, teaching extends far beyond the walls of the beis medrash. He remains a trusted mentor as his talmidim navigate shidduchim, marriage, careers, and the many milestones of adult life.
Rabbi Kalish also helped establish and lead the Toras Moshe Night Kollel in Lakewood, creating a warm and intimate beis medrash where serious learning is complemented by meaningful rebbe-talmid relationships, thoughtful vaadim, and a strong sense of camaraderie.
