Biography

Baruch Gigi was born in Morocco and immigrated to Israel at the age of 11. He first attended Yeshivat Har Etzion as a student in 1974 after studying in a yeshiva high school in Haifa. He was ordained by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel and received a BEd degree from Herzog College. From 1982-88, he taught in Yeshivat Ma'alot in the town of Ma'alot-Tarshiha and since then has been teaching in Yeshivat Har Etzion.

Together with Rabbi Yaaqov Medan, Rabbi Gigi joined Rabbi Yehuda Amital[1] and Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein as a co-Rosh Yeshiva on January 4, 2006.

He also serves as the rabbi of the Sephardi synagogue in Alon Shvut[2] (the town where the yeshiva is located), and he teaches several classes in the women's institutions Midreshet Lindenbaum and Migdal Oz.
