Rav Shlomo Busso

Rabbi Shlomo Busso, shlit”a, carries a name that commands respect—and not just because of the lineage. Yes, he’s a grandson of the holy Baba Sali, zt”l, and yes, his father-in-law is Baba Baruch. But it’s what he brings to the table that makes people sit up straight.

His mother, Rabbanit Avigail, raised him with strength and softness—a blend that shows in the way he teaches, leads, and lives. Rabbi Busso isn’t just another name on the Sephardic rabbinic map. He’s an Admor in every sense—one whose Ahavas Yisroel isn’t something he talks about much, but you feel it the moment you meet him. His avodah? It’s real. Not performative, not distant. Just raw, deep, and honest.

Recently, his son Yitzchak became a Choson—another simcha in a home filled with kedusha and Torah.

As Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Tiferet LeYisrael, located in Yerushalayim, Rabbi Busso has been shaping young minds and hearts for years. His shiurim don’t just unpack sugyas—they light a fire. He has a knack for tying deep ideas into real life, which is rare and sorely needed.

It’s not surprising that Rabbi Busso wears techeiles on his tzitzis. For him, mitzvos aren’t just obligations—they’re opportunities. You can tell he’s the kind of person who does things fully, without shortcuts. His techeiles isn’t about making a statement. It’s about doing what he believes is the emes, quietly but firmly.

But Rabbi Busso doesn’t just stay in the yeshiva. He’s also deeply involved in the work of Casa B’nei Avraham Avinu—a center that offers shiurim and guidance to both men and women, in person and online. He’s got time for the individual, not just the crowd.

Yeshivat Tiferet LeYisrael keeps growing under his guidance. Students come from different backgrounds, drawn by the yeshiva’s balance of depth, warmth, and real expectations. It’s not a “come and coast” place. It’s where serious growth happens—and that’s a credit to his leadership.

Rav Busso is one of those rare Rabbanim who brings together heart, head, and halacha. He’s not flashy. He’s not loud. But he’s solid—and in today’s world, that’s what sticks.
