Find a Rabbi

Rabbi Golker grew up in North West London, attended Hasmonean High School and studied for four years at leading yeshivot in Jerusalem, before taking a Liberal Arts degree.

He then studied at BPP University, obtaining an MSc in Psychology with distinction, and at Goldsmiths University, where he was awarded an MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, also with distinction.

His CV includes work as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for Hertfordshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and he also has experience in Alcohol and Substance Misuse.

A published author in religious and secular fields, Rabbi Golker co-authored the two-volume Journey Through Nach books, sold in Jewish bookstores internationally. He has published research papers and articles about the cultural adaptation of therapy for the Orthodox Jewish community, his main area of academic interest.

For the past four years, Rabbi Golker, our cheder Head Teacher, has overseen the continued growth and development of the cheder, in addition to teaching the Religious Studies GCSE course.

He was recently awarded Semicha, the Rabbinic qualification, by Dayan Gelley, Head of the London Beis Din, after a course of study at the Rabbinic Training Academy, a leadership and training program for newly qualified Rabbinic couples.
