Rabbi Kupchik is a very accomplished educator and school leader. Since 2000, he has served as Menahel of HAFTR Middle School and since 2014 as Menahel of both the Lower and Middle School on Long Island, NY, where he supervised the entire Judaic Program and worked closely with the general studies administration and staff. Before HAFTR, he held administrative and teaching positions at Yeshiva Har Torah in Bayside, NY and Yavneh Academy in Paramus, NJ. 
 
Rabbi Kupchik is also an active member of his community, serving on important shul and communal committees. He received Semicha from Yeshiva University (RIETS '92) and earned an MA from YU's Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration ('98). He graduated this year from the Torah Umesorah Academy for leadership and fundraising and in 2014 from the YU LEAD program for aspiring leaders in Jewish Education.  He also received the Caroline & Joseph Gruss Excellent Teacher Award ('99). Rabbi Kupchik is an alumnus of Yeshiva College ('89) and Yeshivat Shaalvim ('85-'87).  Rabbi Kupchik and his wife Bonnie, have six children, are looking forward to joining the community.
 
Rabbi Kupchik is very much looking forward to meeting our parents and developing relationships with our students, staff and parents. Rabbi Kupchik will formally begin his duties on July 2nd. We will share his contact information in the near future, so you can personally reach out to him and welcome him to our Yeshiva.  

Thank you to Rabbi Micah Greenland and the entire search committee for their tireless efforts. We wish Rabbi Kupchik much hatzlacha as he begins his new role as Principal and we look forward to wonderful growth at Fasman Yeshiva High School.
