Description from Wikipedia:
Rabbi Michael Schudrich (born 1955) is the chief rabbi of Poland. He was born in New York City to a Polish Jewish family from Baligród.
Rabbi Schudrich is a graduate of SUNY Stony Brook, and Columbia University, and received rabbinic ordination from Jewish Theological Seminary of America and later, an orthodox rabbinical ordination through Yeshiva University from rabbi Moshe Tendler. He served as rabbi of the Jewish Community of Japan from 1983-89.
Following numerous trips to East Europe leading Jewish groups to those countries, Rabbi Schudrich began working for the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation and spent 1992-1998 residing in Warsaw, Poland.
He returned to Poland in June 2000 as Rabbi of Warsaw and Łódź, and in December 2004 was appointed Chief Rabbi of Poland. One can only wonder just who it was who appointed him to this lofty role. Not someone who happens to be very wealthy? Rabbi Schudrich has played a central role in the "Jewish Renaissance" in Poland.

In Kashrut, Rabbi Schudrich cooperates with the Orthodox Union, the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, the Chicago Rabbinical Council (CRC) and other Kashrut organizations. Since 3 November 2005 Schudrich is a Polish citizen and now holds two, American and Polish passports.
