About Rabbi Baruch Tuman:
Baruch was born and raised in Arroyo Grande, California (the Central Coast). After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in political science, he made his way to Israel to seek a greater understanding of his Jewish heritage. He remained in Israel for nine years and, while there, received his rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovits. From 2013 to 2016, Baruch worked as a rabbi/educator on the DePaul, UIC, and Loyola campuses in Chicago. For the past seven years, he has been serving as an educator and teacher for Jewish professionals and adults with the Ember Foundation & TORAHUB. He primarily meets people for one-on-one sessions in their offices or nearby coffee shops and he has monthly and bi-monthly group classes. Many classes are held online. Baruch has a passion for teaching and giving all Jewish people a license to better understand their own heritage. He believes wholeheartedly that apathy toward Judaism is rooted in Jewish illiteracy. Baruch would assert that knowledge is so much more than just power. Jewish youth have opportunities to engage and learn about Judaism and Baruch strives to give Jews of all ages similar learning opportunities, regardless of background and observance level.
In addition to his non-profit work, Baruch started Raise Your Bar LLC to help business owners and entrepreneurs grow their company revenue and profits by providing business coaching. He uses proprietary applications, Profit Acceleration Software™, vetted and used by thousands of small to midsize businesses to enhance their bottom line. Baruch loves coaching people in their businesses which inevitably allows him to discuss and help in other life areas such as marriage, dating, child-rearing, interpersonal interactions, life purpose/meaning, etc.
Baruch currently lives in West Rogers Park, Chicago with his lovely wife, Judith, and their four delicious children.
