The organization's first president and co-founder was Rabbi Dr. Samuel Turk. Rabbi Gershon Tannenbaum served as director.[5] Rabbi Abraham Hecht was president until his death in 2013.[8]

Officers as of November 2023 include:[9]

  • Rabbi Yehoshua S. Hecht, Rabbi Yaakov Klass and Rabbi Hanania Elbaz - Presidium
