About us

Rabbi Yehosua Karsh

"I have had the opportunity to get to know the community in the northern suburbs and I have seen firsthand that TLC is meeting the needs and wants of the Jewish community. So many of us want to learn more about our heritage and background. We offer the kind of classes at TLC that people want - crash courses in how to read Hebrew, Jewish basics on the holidays, more advanced classes on Jewish thought and philosophy, as well as bringing in great speakers from all over the country and world. My wife Tzippy and I are really enjoy living in Northbrook and working with the community."

Rabbi Yehoshua Karsh grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is a graduate of Brisk Yeshiva High School in Chicago and Marquette University where he received an M. Ed in Guidance and Counseling. Rabbi Karsh spent seventeen years in Jerusalem continuing his studies and teaching at Ohr Somayach, Neve Yerushalayim Jewish Educational Network, B'not Torah Institute and Shayara. Upon moving to Chicago, Rabbi Karsh became Director of Outreach at the Chicago Community Kollel. It was during his tenure at the Kollel that he helped found the Torah Learning Center. Students of Rabbi Karsh have discovered that, through his background in Guidance and Counseling and his extensive teaching experience, Rabbi Karsh has helped them connect more spiritually to Judaism, giving their lives a greater sense of relevance and purpose. In addition, Rabbi Karsh is the author of the award winning blog: 'Musings of a Jewish Soul'. (To read, visit jewishsoul.rediffblogs.com.) Rabbi Karsh currently lives in Northbrook with his wife, Tzippy, and their four sons.
