are we here to do?’ ‘What
is our obligation on this
planet and to ourselves?’
That’s what we’re working
on here,” he said.
Jacob Rashty, vice
president of Keter Torah,
says Rabbi Abadi brings a
young, vibrant, fun energy
to Judaism and to the
younger crowd.
“He’s very good at
teaching Judaism in a way
that inspires people who
maybe haven’t grown up
in a religious community
or don’t have much of
a connection at all to
Judaism,” Rossi said. “He’s

able to explain it and
inspire them in a way that
they can connect on their
own level and in their
own ways.”
Driven by a desire to
help others reach their full
potential, become the best
version of themselves and
enrich people’s perception
of themselves and the
world, Rabbi Abadi is
excited to bring some
of what brought them
success in Brooklyn’s
Syrian Jewish community
to what Keter Torah
already has in place.
