Moshe Sorscher has taken community service to new heights. While many people may volunteer their time and services, few are able to sustain a high level of enthusiasm and dedication over prolonged periods of time.

Since hearing Rabbi Ephraim Buchwald of the National Jewish Outreach Program speak eight years ago about how thriving Orthodox shuls can affect the lives of less knowledgeable Jews, Sorscher has been inspired to make a difference in the lives of people searching to change their lives and become more Jewishly observant.

Although Sorscher spends his days as a pension administrator, he has made it his mission to lovingly encourage and teach those who wish to learn more about prayer and Jewish life. He has coordinated the Young Israel of Flatbush's Outreach Program for eight years now-that is almost 410 Shabbat mornings-and he has rarely missed a Shabbat.
