Rabbi Mitchell M. Hurvitz (Rabbi Mitch as he is affectionately known) is the Senior Rabbi at Temple Sholom in Greenwich, Connecticut. Rabbi Mitch is a Rabbi, scholar, teacher, community activist, and is recognized as one of the prominent religious leaders in the Greenwich area and beyond. In addition to leading Temple Sholom, Rabbi Mitch has been actively involved in the local interfaith community and is the leader of the Greenwich Fellowship of Clergy and co-founder of the Sholom Center for Interfaith Learning and Fellowship. A regular contributor to the Greenwich Times, he is also co-author of The Encyclopedia of Judaism for Facts on File.

He is a charismatic personality who engages individuals and stimulates hearts and minds.
Rabbi Mitch and the Greenwich community have been long-time supporters of the Emunah Sarah Herzog Children’s Center in Afula, Israel. Rabbi Mitch has visited the home many times, and together with his community raised significant funds for the children-at-risk living in the Afula residential home.
Rabbi Mitch was born in Boston and raised in Palo Alto, California. He earned a BA in History at UCLA, a Master of Hebrew Letters from the University of Judaism, and a second MA degree in Jewish Studies and Rabbinic Ordination with a concentration in Rabbinic Literature and Jewish Education from the Jewish Theological Seminary. Rabbi Mitch and his wife Roseanne are the parents of Simon, Naomi, Ezra, and Faith, and their son-in-law Cody.
Emunah of America is proud and grateful for Rabbi Mitch’s friendship and his community’s involvement on behalf of the Afula home. The Greenwich community partnership is an essential piece to our success.
