Education and early career
Rabbi Boteach received his rabbinic ordination in 1988 from the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement in New York City, as a disciple of its leader, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Semicha (סמיכה "leaning the hands" also semichut (סמיכות "ordination" or semicha lerabbanut (סמיכה לרבנות "rabbinical Chabad-Lubavitch is one of the largest Hasidic movements in Orthodox Judaism, and is based in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn Hasidic Judaism (also Chasidic, etc from the Hebrew: he '''''חסידות''''', Chassidus, meaning "piety" from the Hebrew The City of New York Menachem Mendel Schneerson ( April 18 1902 – June 12 1994) known as The Rebbe, was a prominent Hasidic Rabbi
That same year he was sent as a Chabad-Lubavitch shaliach (emissary) to become its representative for a student group with unofficial ties to Oxford University in England, where he founded the L'Chaim Society on the campus, to encourage young Jewish students to participate in Jewish culture and religious events at the university. The University of Oxford (informally "Oxford University" or simply "Oxford" located in the city of Oxford, Oxfordshire, England is the England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total UK population whilst its mainland The L'Chaim Society was a student society in existence at Oxford University from 1991 to 2001 under the leadership of the original Chabad Lubavitch American Rabbi The rabbi used the student organization as a forum for debate with a prominent array of public figures and celebrities. However, Rabbi Boteach and the Chabad-Lubavitch organization in England did not agree on all issues regarding how to reach out to Jewish students at Oxford and the role of non-Jewish students; Newark mayor Cory Booker, a non-Jew, served as President of the organization for a period of time. Newark is the largest city in New Jersey, United States and the County seat of Essex County. Cory Anthony Booker (born April 27, 1969) is the current Mayor of Newark, New Jersey. [2] After this disagreement, Rabbi Boteach returned to the United States. He was ordained by Chabad after studying at a Chabad yeshiva in Los Angeles and for three years at the Torat Emet Yeshiva in Jerusalem. Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West [3]
According to London newspapers, "Boteach was ousted from the L'Chaim Society of Oxford University for mismanagement of funds. (He allegedly used money from the charity to maintain a lavish home. Boteach insisted it was his right to do so. )"[4] According to Boteach, ". . . I was summoned from my station in Oxford to a meeting of the Chabad leadership in London, where I was told that I would have to rescind the membership of 5,000 non-Jewish students because too many in Anglo-Jewry complained that their participation diluted the Jewish character of our organization. I was crestfallen and resisted the order, leading ultimately to my official separation from the Chabad movement. [5]
Later career
Boteach achieved worldwide recognition from the publication of his bestseller, Kosher Sex. [6] In late 1999, Boteach won the "Preacher of the Year" Award from The Times, setting a record for the most points ever garnered in the competition's history.

He also publishes a weekly syndicated column for which, in 2005, he was awarded the American Jewish Press Association's highest award for excellence in commentary.
Besides branching into radio, Boteach has continued to stay active with L'Chaim. The group had strong connections with the "Heal the Kids" foundation, which Boteach co-founded with Michael Jackson. Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29 1958 is an American musician entertainer and businessman According to Fox News, the charity was "bogus" and "To this day there has no been no accounting for the money Boteach and Jackson raised for their Time for Kids/Heal the World Foundation. "[4] The charity is now defunct. The rabbi was a frequent guest on news programs during the height of Jackson's child molestation trial and has since repudiated Jackson.
