About the Host
Reb Asaf Aharon Prisman's Torah journey spans distinguished yeshivas, shaping his unique approach to learning that balances depth, clarity, and personal growth. Beginning at Yeshivat Or Chaim in Toronto under Rabbi Avishai David, Reb Asaf's path led him to Israel, where he studied at Yeshivat Birkat Moshe and Netivot Olam Yeshiva in Bnei Brak.
Under the guidance of Rabbi Yosef Bruk and Rabbi Nachum Diamant, Reb Asaf Aharon honed his skills in Gemara, Halacha, and Mussar. Today, he divides his time between learning in Kollel Beis Hillel in Ramat Beit Shemesh, teaching a daily Daf Yomi shiur in a local yeshiva, and engaging in one-on-one learning sessions with individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Reb Prisman's approach, which he calls "Bderech Haovoda" - The path of service, focuses on extracting practical applications from Torah study. Through his shiurim, the "Prism of Torah" podcast, and book, he strives to make Torah wisdom "Shaveh l'kol nefesh" - equally valuable to every soul, enabling listeners to connect with the depth and sweetness of Jewish teachings.
