Rabbi Nisan Andrews

Feb. 19, 2021

Rabbi Nisan Andrews hopes to touch the lives of the members of his community and grow alongside his congregants. He and his wife Hannah, a bubbly, charismatic and talented educator, have four children. Born in Canada and raised in Calgary, Rabbi Andrews attended Telshe Yeshiva in Chicago, where he received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Rabbinics. While at Telshe, he developed a special relationship with its Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Avrohom C. Levin zt”l, from whom he received his semicha. After ordination, his first Rabbinic role was as Assistant Rabbi at Congregation House of Jacob-Mikveh Israel. Since he departed from Calgary, Rabbi Andrews has ministered to congregations in Milwaukee, WI; London, England; and Allentown, PA. While employed as the Associate Rabbi of Finchley United Synagogue in London, a flagship congregation of the United Synagogue with over 1,800 member families, he began innovative social and educational programming. In all of his positions, Rabbi Andrews worked tirelessly to strengthen the engagement of his communities. He and his family are thrilled to be back home here in Calgary.
