Rabbi Shmuel Zucker was born in Golders Green, England, and learned in some of the most prestigious yeshivos in the world, including Gateshead, Be’er Yaakov, and—most formatively—Yeshivas Mir in Yerushalayim. His life and avodas Hashem were deeply shaped by the tzaddik and Lubavitcher chassid Rav Moshe Veber tz”l of Yerushalayim. Rabbi Zucker is also a close talmid of the Amshinover Rebbe, as well as Rabbi Yitzchok Meir Morgenstern and Rabbi Mottel Zilber.

​

For more than 30 years, Rabbi Zucker has served as a Maggid Shiur and Rebbe in leading yeshivos such as Ohr Yerushalayim, Imrei Binah, Yeshivas Mevaseret Tzion, and Yeshivas Aish HaTorah. He is currently the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Keser Torah in Ramat Eshkol, Yerushalayim, and the Mara D’Asra of Kehilla Kedosha Beis Shlomo.

​

Rabbi Zucker is the author of numerous seforim, including Shashuei Shmuel on sugyos haShas, and Oros HaMoadim (Chelek Aleph, Beis, and Gimmel) in Lashon HaKodesh, as well as Illuminating Our Day, his acclaimed English commentary on Tefillah. His Torah is marked by extraordinary depth and breadth—penetrating the most intricate sugyos with clarity, weaving together lomdus, machshava, and chassidus, and revealing the inner light of the Torah in a way that speaks to both heart and mind. His weekly Divrei Torah—known as The Rebbe’s Table—are disseminated worldwide via email, WhatsApp, and printed booklets.

​

A rebbe to thousands of talmidim across the globe, Rabbi Zucker is renowned for his rare ability to connect authentically with every type of Jew. His warmth, depth, and sincerity uplift all who encounter him, and many talmidim consider him their rebbe for life.
