About Rabbi Schmeckelstein
Rabbi Pinky (Pinchas) Schmeckelstein was raised in the Bronx, New York, attending the finest Yeshivas in Brooklyn. Upon receiving Smicha at a renowned rabbinical institute in New Jersey, Rabbi Schmeckelstein taught high school and rabbinical students the intracacies of talmudic exegesis, Jewish philosophy, and family purity matters.
After twenty years, Rabbi Schmeckelstein took off five years for a Sabbatical to "find himself," during which he studied law, Indian spiritualism (where he first witnessed NPOJHARTHA yelling as some missionaries in the airport), Native American dance, medieval literature, pastry cooking, sports medicine, the US Civil War and metallurgy. Following his Sabbatical, he established his own rabbinical institute, Yeshivas Chipas Emmess ("Search for the Truth") with the goal of combining the beauty of Torah wisdom and Jewish culture with harsh realities of a cynical, often cruel, world (it didn't take too long, to be honest, with laws like "an eye for an eye", "a tooth for a tooth", and "Hilchos Nidah", how hard can it be?).
In addition to serving as Rosh Yeshiva ("Dean") of Yeshivas Chipas Emmess, Rabbi Schmeckelstein is also the Dean of the recently opened Chinese branch of the Yeshiva, Yeshivas Ahavas Mao.
Rabbi Schmeckelstein is often happily married and has countless children and grandchildren.
His hobbies include berating his frigid wife, obsessing about Nidah, bad-mouthing the Triangle K, collecting miniature shtenders, bringing counterfeiters of rabbi cards to justice and day trading.
