Life and Education

Rabbi Harris was born in the 1940s in Scranton Pennsylvania. He attended Scranton Hebrew Day school. After graduation, looking for a yeshiva high school he decided on the Rabbinical Seminary of America in Queens New York. It was really a monumental decision because Rabbi Harris has spent his entire life studying or working for the Yeshiva and its affiliates. Rabbi Harris graduated from high school and continued on in the Yeshiva's post-high school program. In 1964 Rabbi Harris along with the entire Yeshiva traveled to Israel to study. In 1968 Rabbi Harris returned to Israel along with the entire Yeshiva. He would remain behind in 1969 to help strengthen the Israel branch. Rabbi Harris would complete his studies at the Yeshiva in 1973 after receiving his rabbinic ordination.

Career

In 1974 he co-founded the school's first external affiliate branch, the Talmudical Institute of Upstate New York, together with Rabbi Menachem Davidowitz.^[2]

In the Fall of 1988, he also founded Mesivta Tiferes Yisroel, another branch of the Chofetz Chaim Network.
