Rabbi Shalom Kantor

Rabbi Shalom Kantor is the KOACH Hillel Campus Rabbi at Binghamton University- a position jointly funded by the USCJ and Hillel in an effort to provide the first ever liberal observant rabbinic presence on the Binghamton University campus. Originally from Sun Valley Idaho, Rabbi Kantor learned the how to use the natural surroundings as a source for spiritual journey. Before he had to get serious about life and go to rabbinical school he spent a year in Jerusalem pursuing his love of culinary Judaism by working full time as the chief Wine Steward at the King David Hotel. When he is not hanging out with students he spends his time with his wife and two children in and around the Binghamton hills.
