Rabbi Shaya Cohen, Founder
Rabbi Cohen founded Priority-1 in 1987 to help at-risk teenagers and their parents and families. Since then, the organization has evolved into a valuable resource for communities across the country. Its workshops and events have trained thousands of parents and educators to inspire children to a lifelong love of Torah and Yiddishkeit.

Rabbi Shaya Cohen has been the Rosh HaYeshiva of Yeshiva Zichron Aryeh and Kollel Ner Yehoshua for the past 20 years. Before that, he founded Valley Torah High School in Los Angeles and served as its dean for a decade.
