Rabbi Jonathan Rietti

Rabbi Jonathan Rietti is a descendant of the Sephardic leader the Ben Ish Chai and son of the famous British actor Robert Rietti, known as “The Man of a Thousand Voices.” In 1986, he received his rabbinical diploma from Gateshead Talmudical College, England, after which he helped establish the now flourishing Kollel in Gibraltar. With a master's in education from Adelphi University, he has practiced for twenty-eight years as an educational consultant to parents of gifted children and those with ADD.

Rabbi Rietti has authored over twenty-five lecture albums on topics including inner growth, health, parenting and Jewish identity, and draws upon his background in the film and advertising industries to both entertain and share powerful insights on love, happiness and “emotional intelligence. He lectures across the U.S. and worldwide for the Gateways Organization.

In 2003, Rabbi Rietti received Montessori training, after which he established the Breakthrough Chinuch™ curriculum, which dovetails Torah education with Montessori methodology. His goal is to offer a "hands-on" curriculum -- to compliment the traditional Chinuch system -- for teachers, schools, and homeschooling parents. To achieve this goal, Rabbi Rietti conducts teacher training, consultations, and live school presentations in the New York area and nationally under the umbrella of the Mishkan Yechezkel organization.

The Breakthrough Chinuch™ curriculum focuses on strengthening the child in the areas of Emunah, Tefila, Lashon Hakodesh, Chumash and Taryag Mitzvot. This is achieved by creating a child-centric classroom environment and though educational materials that children interact with "hands-on" and in multiple modalities.
