Career
Reisman is one of the roshei yeshiva (deans) at Yeshiva Torah Vodaas,[4][5][6][7] where he received semikhah (rabbinical ordination) from Avraham Yaakov Pam. The rabbi of the Agudas Yisroel of Madison synagogue, he gives a weekly shiur (lecture) on Tanach which is attended by hundreds of people; the shiur is shown live via satellite hookup to many Jews throughout the U.S.[8][9] He is the rabbi of the summer camp network run by Agudath Israel of America.[10][11][1] Reisman is the author of several books on halakha (Jewish law) and Tanach.
Views
Reisman believes that the future of the Jewish people is in Israel, and that the Jews who remain in the diaspora should support Torah study there.[12]
