Rabbi Elazar Muskin assumed the rabbinic leadership of Young Israel of Century City in January, 1986.

He also earned a Master’s degree in Medieval Jewish Philosophy from the Bernard Revel Graduate School and a Master’s degree in Education from Columbia University.
Rabbi Muskin has published a number of scholarly and popular articles and has lectured in numerous communities in the United States, Europe and Israel. He has served as columnist to the Los Angeles Jewish Journal’s weekly Torah Portion articles and published a monograph on the Jewish attitude towards racism for the National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ).
