Pinchas A. Stolper (born October 22, 1931) is an Orthodox rabbi, writer, and has been a spokesman for Orthodoxy through his writings and books popularizing Orthodox Judaism.
Rabbi Stolper is a disciple of Rabbi Yitzchak Hutner and studied at the Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin and at its Kollel Gur Aryeh in Brooklyn. He holds degrees from Brooklyn College and the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research.
He was the founder and National Director of the National Conference of Synagogue Youth (NCSY) of the Orthodox Union. He subsequently served for close to twenty years as the head of the Orthodox Union as its executive vice-president.
During more than forty years of working with Jewish youth, much of this at NCSY, he met and counseled thousands of young people, and is regarded as having played a major role in the Baal teshuva ("returnees [to Judaism]") movement.
Stolper currently lives in Chicago, Illinois and prays at Congregation Kahal Adas Yeshurun-Anshe Knesses Yisrael in the West Rogers Park neighborhood.
