Reuben Ebrahimoff

Reuben Ebrahimoff, also affectionately known as "The Haftorahman", was born in Kew Gardens, Queens, NY in 1959. He was the first Mashadi Jew from Persia to attend Yeshiva in the U.S.A

Under the tutelage of Rabbi Shimon Kessin of Brooklyn, NY, Reuben was inspired to learn about the Biblical Prophets. In turn, he noticed that many people knew little or nothing about the Haftorahs. Gifted with extraordinary oratory and people skills, Reuben began to speak about them at his Synagogue, Sh'are Tova in Kew Gardens, Queens. The audience enjoyed Reuben's enthusiasm, humor, and insight into the Haftorahs.Buoyed by his synagogue audience's reception, Reuben set a goal to speak in over 100 Synagogues in order to inspire people's interest in the topic. To date, he has spoken in over 100 different congregations worldwide.

With the vision of reaching even greater audiences, Reuben committed to proliferating and disseminating the Haftorah both through publishing weekly Haftorahman handouts and through weekly online videos, available on OU.Org and Youtube.

You can also find all the weekly haftorah's and special holiday haftorahs on www.haftorahman.com

Currently over 2000 people receive his weekly handout.

Every Shabbat for the past 12 seasons, Reuben has taught a series of classes titled "The World of the Prophets" at the Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton Beach, NY.
