Rabbi Zalman Weiss was born into a secular Jewish family in America but early on yearned for a greater connection to His Creator. This quest took him to various colleges and institutions and involved him in a great many activities.

After becoming an Ivy League graduate, he came on aliyah to Israel and served in the IDF. He later returned to America to attend Kol Yaakov Yeshiva in Munsey, New York. He learned at the yeshivas of Ohr Somaych and MiLi in Jerusalem, receiving Smicha from Rabbi Zalman Nechemiah Goldberg. Rabbi Weiss has been in Kollel at Neve Yaakov, Israel for the past twenty-two years.

Over the years, Rabbi Weiss has been involved in helping over 100 potential converts learn about Orthodox Judaism and prepare for their Beis Din appearances. Their journeys, their spiritual quests, re-ignited his search for answers.

Rabbi Weiss lives in Jerusalem with his wife and children. He regularly gives online classes to prepare candidates for Orthodox Jewish conversion and welcomes inquiries.
