Personal Details

Bio

Rabbi Samuel Waldman has had a diverse career in religious education. His beginnings started out with being indoctrinated with the teachings of Horav Hagoan Rabbi Avigdor Miller ZT"L's teachings. At 17 years old he started to listen to hundreds of Rabbi Miller's tapes and encouraged many others to do so as well. He also was close with the former Mashgiach of Mirrer Yeshiva, Horav Hagoan Rav Don Segal shlit"a. He started off his married life learning in the Kollel of Mirrer Yeshiva. After 4 years in Mirrer Yeshiva Kollel he was invited to join the Kollel of the Yeshiva Mercaz Hatorah at the time run by Rabbi Levi Dicker zt"l and Rabbi Chaim Zelikovitz Shlit'a. The intention was to eventually bring him into the position of Mashgaich of the High School.

Rabbi Waldman was a teacher for 11 years at the Elementary school, Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe in Queens, NY. He also taught in a few of summer camps over the years and left his mark on many hundreds of students during a time period of 20 years. He was an instructor at Camp Torah Vodaas and Camp Dora Golding for a number of years. Rabbi Waldman's teachings have had a profound effect on many students.

Rabbi Waldman has a very important project that is just about to be finished. It is a book in which he discusses all the reasons why Orthodox Jews spend so much time in prayer every day. It explains what we are supposed to accomplish by spending so much time in prayer and how it can help us achieve our goals. Ideas most Jews are unaware of are covered in this book! Rabbi Waldman personally spends a lot of his time in intense prayer as part of this Sefer, which shows the proper way to pray!

Rabbi Waldman reluctantly left the teaching field and turned to a more respectable source of income. He is currently working as a herbal supplements salesman, selling specialized products for bladder control and hair loss. In addition, he hopes to eventually produce high-quality aloe Vera which will help people with an overactive bladder (OAB). He also wishes to help people in ways not involving gimmicks or tricks - producing truly effective health products that are performing at their best.

Moreover, Samuel Waldman plans on going back into the field of giving lectures on Jewish Education as soon as his Sefer Tefilla and his blog is finished.

What is The Sefer in Judaism?

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all based on the same basic precepts. All of these religions agree that there is one God (the Hebrew word for God is Shema) who has revealed himself in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The first humans to believe in the one true God were Jews, and the Sefer Torah was his first revelation to them.

Today, Jews continue to venerate the Sefer Torah as their most sacred text, and the Sefer Is a cornerstone of Judaism.

In this article, Rabbi Samuel Waldman will discuss what the Sefer is and Judaism in general.

Why Orthodox Jews Spend So Much Time in Prayer?

Orthodox Jews have a reputation for being obsessive about prayer. Some even go so far as to suggest that Orthodox Jews are more likely to pray than any other group of people on Earth.

In this article Rabbi Samuel Waldman will share information about the importance of Jewish prayer.

In the words of the Talmud (Sotah 29a): “Prayer is of the utmost importance.” It is a well-known fact that the more time we spend in prayer, the more time we have left to live a happy and fulfilled life.

So, what exactly is Orthodox prayer like? In this article you will find an insider’s view of the practice of Orthodox prayer from a rabbi’s perspective.
