His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon have both met with critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector’s item. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and in Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018.
