Rabbi Menachem Bombach (born 26 October 1976) is a community leader and educational entrepreneur in Israel’s Haredi community, and founder and president of the Netzach Educational Network.
Biography
editMenachem Bombach is a Viznitzer Chassid. He was educated in Viznitz schools, attended the Ahavat Yisrael Yeshiva and then went on to learn in the Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem. He completed a bachelor's degree in education at the Moreshet Yaakov Institute, and a master’s degree in public policy from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[1]
He was principal/Rosh Yeshiva of the Le’Zion Be’Rinah high school and directed the youth department of the Beitar Illit (wiki link) local authority. In 2013 he founded the preparatory program for Haredi students at the Hebrew University, and the Torah Academy - Hamidrasha Chassidit for boys from Hassidic backgrounds. This was the first yeshiva high school for Hassidic boys in Israel that provides a comprehensive Torah education while preparing students for matriculation exams. This provoked communal opposition and personal attacks, including rabbinic proclamations against him, public demonstrations, and damage to his home.[2]
Following the establishment of the Torah Academy, Menachem set up the “Netzach” Haredi educational network. As a change-maker in Israel’s Haredi community, he is an active mentor for a number of leadership training programs, including the Mandel Leadership Institute,[3] the Maoz Leadership Network[4] and the Gesher Leaders program.[5]
In September 2020, he was appointed as a member of the National Council for Public Libraries. In April 2021, he was appointed a member of the National Committee for Research and Development in the field of promoting science and technology education. He is regularly invited to participate in conversations in the Israeli media and overseas about the Haredi community in Israel, and his blog for the Times of Israel was voted as one of the most significant blogs of the year in both 2020[6] and 2021.[7]
Rabbi Bombach was a 2017 International Nahum Goldmann Fellow [8], and is a Fellow in the MAOZ Employment Joint Venture.[9]
He is on the faculty of the Tikvah Fund [10] and the Mandel Leadership Institute[11], and blogs in or writes in the Times of Israel[12], the Jerusalem Post[13], and other publications.
Netzach Education Network
editThe Netzach Educational Network includes 15 institutions (seven elementary and six high-schools and two post-secondary programs) and 1,850 students in seats, as well as having 30,000 registered at the Eshkolot Virtual School, an online platform created during the COVID pandemic to enable Haredi students to study secular subjects and apply to university.
