Rabbi Daniel Lapin and Susan Lapin have been blessed with seven children whom they greatly admire and who are now building their own young families. The Lapin children were homeschooled on Mercer Island, Washington and the family enjoyed annual holidays boating off the coast of British Columbia. Several of the Lapin children joined their parents on an exciting Pacific Ocean crossing in their own sailboat and some are now homeschooling Lapin grandchildren. The Lapins recently relocated to Maryland where they live in one of the most vibrant Jewish communities in the United States.
Over nearly two decades Rabbi Daniel Lapin and his wife, Susan, led the Southern California congregation they planted and where they met and married. After counseling crowds of young people through career crises, dating dilemmas, and marriage mysteries by applying ancient Jewish wisdom to solve contemporary problems, word of their work began spreading beyond their own community into both Jewish and Christian circles. Their bestselling seven books, daily television show, weekly podcast, and the resources they create make their inviting Bible-based approach to life’s challenges accessible to people of every background. They are well-known speakers for Jewish, Christian, and business groups in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Korea, China, and throughout North America.
While Susan grew up in New York, Rabbi Daniel was born and spent his early childhood in South Africa. His parents, the distinguished Rabbi and Mrs. A. H. Lapin, dispatched him to England and Israel even before he turned thirteen to immerse him in Scripture. Though not a particularly studious young man to start with, he did eventually find himself intensely intrigued by Bible, economics, physics, and mathematics which he subsequently taught at Yeshiva College. As he puts it, “These disciplines explain how the world really works.”
