He studied at Yeshivat Be'er HaTorah in Jerusalem, and later continued at Kollel Ahavat Shalom in Modiin Illit. He also completed the program of the Beit Midrash Gavoha LeHoraah "Keter Aram Tzova" in Rishon LeZion, which trains rabbis for practical halachic rulings. He answers halachic questions at the Beit Horaah of the Neot Simcha community and at Beit Horaah Chanichei HaYeshivot in the Achuzat Brachfeld neighborhood, both in Modiin Illit, as well as at Rav Amram Fried's Beit Horaah in Bnei Brak.
