Rabbi Yitzchak Wyne
Rabbi Yitz Wyne is the founder and spiritual leader of Young Israel Aish of Las Vegas. Rabbi Wyne’s sense of purpose and fulfillment in life is inextricably connected to the sharing of the timeless Torah knowledge, values and spiritual beauty with the entire Las Vegas community. Rabbi Wyne credits his dedication to kiruv (bringing Jews closer to Judaism) to Rabbi Weinberg’s knowledge, inspiration and dynamic leadership.
In addition to leading a growing congregation, hosting The Rabbi Show every Sunday at 9 a.m. on KDWN, recording his weekly YouTube Parsha Videos, corresponding with hundreds of Facebook ‘friends,’ and speaking often on topics related to his best selling book entitled “Life is Great! Revealing the 7 Secrets to a More Joyful You”, Rabbi Wyne finds time to enjoy life in Las Vegas with his wife, Helene and their six children.

Rabbi Avi Anderson, LMSW
Rabbi Avi Anderson combines the depth of traditional Torah learning with the clarity of academic scholarship and the warmth of a community leader. Raised in Brooklyn, NY, Rabbi Anderson received rabbinic ordination from Yeshiva University’s Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, along with a Master’s in Jewish Education from YU’s Azrieli Graduate School and a Master’s in Social Work. His education reflects both the highest standards of Torah scholarship and a commitment to understanding the human condition in all its complexity.
Before coming to Young Israel Aish, Rabbi Anderson served as rabbinic intern at The Roslyn Synagogue, Beit Midrash Fellow at Ramaz Upper School, and educator at Congregation Ahavath Torah in Englewood, NJ. He also served as hospital chaplain at NYU Medical Center and New York Presbyterian Hospital, where he brought Torah, strength, and compassion to patients and families during Holidays.
At YI Aish, Rabbi Anderson is recognized for his ability to bring Torah to life: delivering shiurim that are both intellectually rigorous and profoundly relevant. He is known for weaving together classical sources, modern thought, and personal connection in a way that speaks to scholars and seekers alike. His leadership is marked by vision, accessibility, and a deep belief that Torah has the power to elevate every aspect of our lives.
Together with his wife Rivky, an occupational therapist, and their children — Chaya, Shira, Meira, Eliana, and David — Rabbi Anderson is proud to be an integral part of the Las Vegas Jewish community, working to inspire, teach, and build a vibrant future for Am Yisrael.
