Intellectual Navigation, International Reach


What are the businesses and organizations that matter the most to us? Certainly, we value those that provide us with necessary goods and services such as health care and automobiles. But what about that which stands less tangible but just as necessary, and perhaps more lasting? Today’s blog post circles around the outreach operations headed by Rabbi Leib Tropper.

Rabbi Leib Tropper

Rabbi Leib Tropper, a lifelong researcher and community leader, currently employs his talents in Israel as the head of the project Character First. Endorsed by Moshe Hollender and Binyamen Greenberg, as well as many others, Character First emphasizes the deep import of strong morals as indicated by the Torah. In his involvement with the group, Tropper offers the community tools to navigate modern life and regularly publishes articles. His pieces include both heavy research and intelligent consideration, thereby stimulating discussions and positive change.

Prior to his engagement with Character First, Rabbi Tropper founded the multi-national organization Horizons. The group, which invited those curious about the teachings of the Torah to interact with the text and the community guided by it, saw success in Paris, London, Berlin, and throughout the U.S. The appearances offered a look into the culture and an introduction the language and spiritual currency to those who might not otherwise gain the opportunity.


Rabbi Leib Tropper comes from a long line of community leaders including his
father, a teacher at the Rabbi Jacob Joseph Elementary School for three decades. Tropper attended the school in lower Manhattan until the age of 12 and subsequently continued his education in Israel.
