Rabbi Mark Trencher is the president of Nishma Research, which has been studying the Orthodox Jewish Community since 2015. He lives in West Hartford, Connecticut, but considers himself a “Brooklyn Boy,” having grown up in the very first chasidish shtiebel in Flatbush. He received semicha from RJJ (the Rabbi Jacob Joseph School), taught in three Orthodox day schools and three universities. He also has served as president of a shul, a day school, a kashrut organization and as a Jewish film festival chair, and is currently on the board of directors of the National Council of Young Israel. Upon his retirement in 2015, he founded Nishma Research as a resource for the Orthodox community. He has conducted 13 broad Orthodox community studies dealing with a wide range of issues of importance to Orthodoxy, as well as 17 proprietary studies for Orthodox institutions, including schools. He also hosts the Orthonomics Podcast.
