Rav Yishay is a Rabbi at the Hesder Yeshiva in Maale Adumim and a producer of popular Halacha podcasts for both kids and adults. He served 180 days of reserve combat duty as part of the 8th Brigade on the northern border and in Gaza following October 7. During operations in the Netzarim corridor, he was seriously wounded when a tank beside him rolled over an IED, sending a large piece of shrapnel through his abdomen.
Since then, Rav Yishay has been recovering and sharing his experiences, focusing on resilience, unity, and bridging divides within the Jewish people. A sought-after speaker, he has appeared on Israel’s Channel 12, Arutz 7, and other platforms.
