Zevulun Charlop (December 14, 1929 – January 16, 2024) was an American rabbi, who served as Dean Emeritus of Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS), an affiliate of Yeshiva University (YU).
Career
Zevulun Charlop served as president of the American Committee for the United Charities in Israel, General Israel Orphans Home for Girls in Jerusalem, and the National Council of Young Israel rabbis.
In May 2008, Charlop received Yeshiva University's (YU) Presidential Medallion in recognition of his stewardship of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS). Under his leadership[1] of more than 35 years, the seminary experienced enormous growth, graduating thousands of rabbis, educators, and Jewish scholars.
In September 2008, Charlop was honored for his extraordinary achievement in Torah learning and leadership as the seminary's dean at YU's RIETS Annual Dinner of Tribute. Sefer Zeved Tov, a collection of essays by Roshei Yeshiva and students in his honor, was published for this occasion. Additionally, Sefer Shefa Yamim, a collection of many of Charlop's essays, was published in limited release for this occasion. As dean emeritus, Charlop continued to give semikhah exit bechinos, served as one of RIETS’ masmichim, and maintained his special relationship with the Kollelei Elyon. He also served as special advisor to the YU President on yeshiva affairs with cabinet rank.[2]
Charlop served for many years as the spiritual leader of the Young Israel of Mosholu Parkway in the Bronx, New York, until the synagogue closed.[3] The building was sold in 2015.[4]
Works
Charlop was the editor of three collections of novellae on Torah and Talmud by his late father, Jechiel Michael Charlop.
Personal life
Charlop resided in the Bronx, a borough of New York City, for most of his life,[1] where he was the rabbi of the Young Israel of Mosholu Parkway.[5] In his last few years, after the closing of the synagogue in 2015,[6] he lived near his children in Monsey, NY. He was the grandson of Yaakov Moshe Charlap. Charlop died on January 16, 2024, at the age of 94.[7]
