The Gabbinate
The Gabbinate serves the Nachalah community's religious needs. Members coordinate minyanim—from regular weekday minyanim to High Holiday services—to create a flourishing religious life for the Orthodox community here at QC. כן ירבו!
Akiva Richman
Gabbai Rishon
Yes, that’s right, “the Akiva Richman” is our Gabbai Rishon. Dedicated to the sport of American Ninja Warrior, Akiva is skilled in both flipping across gymnasium mats and flipping out in Israel. Though he lacks the flexibility necessary to be an actual gymnast, he’s quite flexible when it comes to scheduling minyan and events. Contact Akiva if you’d like to commit to minyan or talk to him about his moderate obsession with American Ninja Warrior.
Nava Yastrab
Gabbait
A compulsive book buyer, chess player, and Grey's Anatomy watcher, Nava has a variety of interests that parallel her pursuit of intellectual stimulation. Devoted to her learning, she is passionate about developing Nachalah's minyan along with encouraging students to partake in it's educational opportunities. While unsure of how she keeps accidentally entering a variety of Jewish cults, Nava is excited to be working as Gabbait for Nachalah and to help with continuing it's growth.
