Shlomo Riskin (born May 28, 1940) is a prominent American-Israeli Modern Orthodox rabbi known for his roles in religious leadership, education, and settlement activities. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he graduated summa cum laude from Yeshiva University in 1960, majoring in Classical Languages and Literature as well as English Literature. At age 23, with the backing of his mentor Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, Riskin founded and led Lincoln Square Synagogue on Manhattan's Upper West Side for 20 years, transforming a small Conservative prayer group into one of New York City's most innovative Orthodox congregations. He also served as dean of Manhattan Day School during this period, emphasizing progressive Orthodox education.

In 1983, Riskin immigrated to Israel, where he became the founding chief rabbi of Efrat, a settlement in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. He co-founded Aish HaTorah and established the Ohr Torah Stone educational network and institutions, serving as its chancellor. This network includes high schools, colleges, and graduate programs across the United States and Israel that integrate Torah study with modern values, contemporary living, and the concept of tikkun olam (repairing the world). Riskin's work has focused on bridging traditional Judaism with progressive ideals, including women's roles in religious life and interfaith dialogue, though his involvement in settlement activities has drawn controversy amid the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
