Joining the Hale community in time for Rosh Hashana, the couple and their young children will provide a boost to the Trust's teaching resources for the next two years.

Rabbi Guttentag is a former student at Ohr Somayach and a graduate of the Ohr LaGola Leadership Programme.

Malki, who has a wealth of outreach and teaching experience, studied at Beis Soroh Schenirer Seminary in Manchester.

The couple will take over from Rabbi Jonathon and Abi Simons to take Hale's learning programmes to the next level.
