In 1984 he received rabbinical ordination and continued on a path of intense Torah study and practice as well as teaching both men and women. He has lectured and given workshops in Israel, the United States and India. Joel is the author of numerous works on rabbinical methodology, esoteric Judaism, the prophetic confluence of Kabbalah with the new sciences and the messianic role of the maps and models pouring forth from modern technology. A guiding light for Joel's stimulating approach to Torah teaching is stressed by the Gaon of Vilna, "There can never be a contradiction between the esoteric (sode) and the exoteric (pshat)".
Concurrent with his traditional yeshiva training, Joel had always taken a deep interest in the Torah's interface with world religions and Noachides. He has done extensive research into the Talmudic, Midrashic and medieval rabbinical sources concerning Noachides, Christianity and the "Seventy Nations". This investigation includes many obscure and little known Kabbalistic teachings about Yeshu HaNotzri[[Jesus]], the role of Christianity and Islam as well as the phenomenon of the role of Oriental religions in our "Final Generation" during the present period of the End Days. "In the Torah world it has always been known that the non-Jew can truly only understand his true essence and mission from an authentic Jewish perspective. As we are currently accelerating toward the Edge of Time the Torah and her ancient sages are beginning to reveal that a key to the mystery of Jewish existence is also to be found in the eternal mystery of Bnai Noach".
Joel currently teaches in his small yeshiva in Colorado Springs, Colorado where he has also been instructing a dedicated group of Bnai Noach for the past 3 years. Along with performing Jewish weddings he also offers nationwide unique "Biblical/Kabbalistic/Noachide" wedding ceremonies to sincere gentile couples.
