Join us for our monthly First Friday Shabbat Services on Friday, August 1 at 6:30 PM at the Flowing Wells Campus, Building 2000.

Rabbi Ari Waldman serves as the Senior Rabbi of Baruch HaShem Messianic Synagogue in Dallas, Texas, a position he has held since 2017. He was born and raised in North Texas and grew up deeply involved in the congregation founded by his parents, Rabbi Marty and Marleen Waldman. 

Ari pursued a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, reflecting his early passion for aviation. After working in the aviation industry, he transitioned into ministry, joining the staff at Baruch HaShem in 2012. He later earned a Master of Divinity in Messianic Jewish Studies from The King’s University. In 2016, he was ordained as a rabbi.  

Under Rabbi Ari’s leadership, Baruch HaShem has continued its mission to be a Messiah-centered community of Jews and Gentiles, fostering a space where Jewish identity and faith in Yeshua are nurtured. The congregation emphasizes the continuity of Jewish life and culture, while also welcoming others to learn about the Jewish roots of their faith.  

Rabbi Ari is married to Brittany, and they have three children: Ela, Liora, and Max. Outside of his pastoral duties, he enjoys connecting with local businesses, especially coffee shops, reading, spending time in nature, biking, and exploring the best BBQ spots in the area.
