The Rabbi & Rebbetzin
Rabbi Akiva & Rebbetzin Avigail Eisenstadt
Rabbi Akiva and Rebbetzin Avigail Eisenstadt bring warmth, vision, and heartfelt leadership to the Manhattan Beach Jewish Center, where they live with their five children and are devoted to building a community rooted in Torah, connection, growth, and purpose.
Rabbi Eisenstadt received semicha from Ner Yisroel and holds both an MBA from Johns Hopkins University and a Master’s in Jewish History from Touro College. He is a widely respected Rav, teacher, and community builder whose clarity, compassion, and ability to connect with every Jew define his leadership.
Rebbetzin Avigail is the founder of AE Design Group, a national interior design firm known for its creativity and excellence. Beyond the world of design, she also serves as Chief Operating Officer of Hatzolah Air, a global air-ambulance nonprofit that coordinates life-saving rescue missions. Avigail infuses warmth, precision, and genuine care for people into everything she leads.
Together, the Eisenstadts have created a home and a shul filled with sincerity, hospitality, Torah, and joy — a welcoming haven where every person feels valued, supported, and part of the Manhattan Beach Jewish family.
