In 2017, Berkovits acquiesced to requests by Aish HaTorah directors to return to the yeshiva and serve as its "mara d'asra" (halakhic authority). In August 2019, he was named rosh yeshiva, a position that had been vacant since the 2009 death of founding dean Rabbi Noah Weinberg. In 2019, the yeshiva had a student body of more than 600, plus drop-in visitors totaling close to 200,000 annually. Berkovits delivers daily "shiurim" to all levels and is involved in restructuring the yeshiva's curriculum. He will continue his other responsibilities in addition to his duties at Aish HaTorah.
