Eliyahu Brudny is an American Haredi rabbi and rosh yeshiva. He serves as maggid shiur in the Mir Yeshiva in Brooklyn and is a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Agudath Israel of America.
Early life
Elya Brudny was born to Shmuel and Rochel Brudny.[1] As a child, his parents sent him and his brother Abba to Yeshiva Torah Vodaath.[2]
Career
Brudny serves as a leading Maggid Shiur in the Mir Yeshiva in Brooklyn, and as a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah. His opinion is often sought by the Haredi Jewish community, with his views often being printed in the English-edition Hamodia,[3][4] the Flatbush Jewish Journal,[5] and Mishpacha magazine.[6][7] Brudny is often invited to speak at public events such as the Agudah convention and funerals,[8][9][10] and said the kaddish at the 2020 Siyum Hashas.[11]
In 2018, when New York State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia issued a directive to all yeshivas operating in New York to come into compliance with statewide educational standards, or otherwise face the penalty of losing public funding earmarked for record – keeping, school meals and computers, Brudny authored an opinion letter together with Yisroel Reisman in The Wall Street Journal opposing these measures.[12][13] The pair later complained about being rebuffed by Elia when they tried to negotiate with her about the measures.[14]
