Yisroel Reisman (Hebrew: ישראל הלוי רייזמן) is an American rabbi and posek (scholar of Jewish law) of Orthodox and Haredi Judaism who resides in Brooklyn, New York.
Career
Reisman is one of the roshei yeshiva (deans) at Yeshiva Torah Vodaas, where he received semikhah (rabbinical ordination). He is the rabbi of the summer camp network run by Agudath Israel of America. Reisman is the author of several books on halakha (Jewish law) and Tanach (the Jewish bible).
Views
In 2018, when the New York State Education Department issued a directive to all yeshivas operating in New York to come into compliance with statewide educational standards, Reisman co-authored an op-ed with Elya Brudny in the Wall Street Journal voicing their opposition to the guidelines.
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.
