Rabbi Meir Mitelman
A native Houstonian and proud alum of the University of Texas, Rabbi Meir (“Rabs”) continues to be an enthusiastic Longhorns fan.
He loves hiking in the national parks out west and taking lots of pictures of their mountains, lakes, waterfalls, and wildlife. Rabbi Meir also enjoys tossing a Frisbee around, playing volleyball and guitar, and shmoozing with students.
He earned his M.S. in Education, Masters of Social Work, and rabbinic ordination from Yeshiva University and was recently honored with the Advisor of the Year Award by Hofstra’s Student Government Association.
Abbii Cook
Abbii grew up in Kansas City, no she did not live on a farm, and please hold the Dorothy jokes. She left Kansas City to attend college at the University of Arizona.
Abbii loves soccer, baseball, basketball (Go Jayhawks!!), and football. She also loves shopping, reading, and hanging out with her friends. She is new to the New York area, so any tips or advice you have for surviving New York would be a huge help!
After graduating in 2007, Abbii worked at the American Hebrew Academy, the only pluralistic Jewish boarding school in the United States. She is really excited to be at Hofstra and looks forward to meeting all of you!
