Rabbi Levin’s Page
Rabbi Mordechai Levin joined Beth El Synagogue in August 2002. He received his rabbinic ordination from the Latin American Rabbinical Seminary (Seminario Rabinico Latinoamericano Marshall T. Meyer), and is a member of the Rabbinical Assembly, the international organization of 1,600 Conservative rabbis. In May 2010, Rabbi Levin was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City for his years of dedicated service to the Conservative movement and the Jewish community.
Since coming to Beth El, he has worked to strengthen the religious, educational and social life within the synagogue, to bring people closer to an understanding, appreciation and practice of Judaism, and to serve the pastoral needs of the congregants.
In addition to his synagogue responsibilities, he is a current member of the Jewish Federation's Board of Trustees, the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home, the Friedel Jewish Academy, and the World Council of Conservative Synagogues.
Prior to coming to Beth El Synagogue, Rabbi Levin served as senior rabbi of one of Buenos Aires’ most prominent Conservative synagogues. During that time, he distinguished himself as a leading rabbi in Argentina's Jewish community. He is a past president, a past secretary and a founder of the Latin American region of the Rabbinical Assembly; he is also a past secretary of the Board of Rabbis of Latin America (Union de Rabinos de America Latina).
At the Latin American Rabbinical Seminary, Rabbi Levin held the position of Placement Director, and in this capacity he managed the placement process for rabbis; in addition, he served as the Director of the Institute for Conversion to Judaism, and taught rabbinical students courses in “Halakhah” and “Practical Rabbinics.”
Rabbi Levin has participated in Jewish-Christian conferences, has contributed as a consultant on interreligious affairs for the major Argentinean organization which represents all Jewish organizations, and was part of the Jewish delegation during the Latin American Jewish/Catholic Consultation, co-sponsored by the Latin American Council of Bishops
and the Latin American Jewish Congress.
