Rabbi Chai Posner has been a rabbi at Beth Tfiloh Congregation since 2010. In his capacity as associate rabbi, his down-to-earth personality and approachable style made him beloved to all, as he quickly earned a reputation for being "wise beyond his years." In a historic vote which took place in September 2019, Rabbi Posner was unanimously chosen to succeed Rabbi Mitchell Wohlberg as only the fourth senior rabbi in Beth Tfiloh’s 100-year history, a position he assumed  during Beth Tfiloh’s centennial year, in January 2022. In this capacity Rabbi Posner also serves as the dean of Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School. Rabbi Posner’s vision prioritizes authenticity, inspiration, relevance and joy in service of God. 
 
Rabbi Posner received his semicha (rabbinic ordination) from Yeshivat Chovevei Torah in 2010. He holds a BA degree in Judaic studies from Brooklyn College. Rabbi Posner sits on numerous local and national boards and committees including American Friends of Bar Ilan and AIPAC’s National Council. He and his wife, Rachel, live in Pikesville with their children, Roni, Eliram, Yair and Kayla.

Pinchas "Pinny" Schacter, Chazzan
Baltimore native Pinny Schachter attended Talmudical Academy and grew up in a musical family where Shabbat and Yom Tov meals were enhanced by song. His connection to music flourished in his senior year of high school at Mesivta of Waterbury, when Pinny discovered its power to express and connect both with himself and with God. That connection deepened during the two years he spent studying in Israel after high school. 

Since then, he has traveled around the world, playing, singing, writing and releasing Jewish music for audiences of all ages. He has performed with notable musicians such as Gad Elbaz, Nissim Black, Berri Weber, the Moshav Band, and Soul Farm. 

Pinny holds a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts from Excelsior College. He is excited to share his passion for building spiritual connection through music with the Beth Tfiloh community.
