Dr. Mitch Glaser is the president of Chosen People Ministries. Mitch and his wife are Jewish believers in Jesus and have each labored for more than 20 years in ministry among the Jewish people. After he received Jesus as his Messiah in 1970, Glaser became involved with what was then the West Coast branch of Chosen People Ministries (formerly known as the American Board of Mission to the Jews).

Since 1997, Dr. Glaser has served as president of Chosen People Ministries – one of the oldest and largest Messianic missions in the United States. Chosen People Ministries was established in 1894 by a Hungarian immigrant, Rabbi Leopold Cohn, and today is worldwide with missionaries in nine countries around the world including the United States, Germany and Israel.

Dr. Glaser has been extensively involved in Jewish evangelism in several countries, and was instrumental in helping to establish a congregation among Russian Jewish immigrants in New York. He is an alumnus of Northeastern Bible Colleges, holds a Master of Divinity degree in Bible from Talbot Theological Seminary and a Ph.D. in Intercultural Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary School of World Mission.

He is the co-author of The Fall Feasts of Israel with his wife, Zhava, and has written many articles for Christian periodicals and has taught at leading evangelical schools such as Fuller Theological Seminary, Westminster Seminary, Moody Bible Institute and Columbia International University. Glaser is also a musician, composer and gifted teacher.
