About Us

Rabbi Yisroel Treitel was born and raised in Montreal, QC. He received his education in Montreal, QC, Chicago, IL, Detroit, MI, and Morristown, NJ and achieved rabbinic ordination in 2016. His experience in youth and adult education and community work includes programs in Israel, Brazil and New York. 

Shternie grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where her parents serve as directors of The Shluchim Office, the international center for Chabad rabbis and their families. After graduating from Beth Chana Teachers Seminary, Shternie dedicated herself to Jewish community service in Israel, Plano, TX and Solon, OH. Her passion for teaching and leading led her on a six year career at the Nigri International Jewish Online School.

After visiting Renton in 2017, Rabbi Yisroel and Shternie relocated, and in 2018 established the Chabad Jewish Center of Renton, the first and only Jewish presence in the city.
