Whether it’s airport security, his battles with notorious New Jersey neighbor Moammar Khadafi, or preserving marriage and the American family, Shmuley is funny, passionate, and compassionate.

Shmuley is one of the world's leading relationship experts and spiritual authorities. His 22 books have been best sellers in 17 languages and his award-winning syndicated column is read by a global audience of millions.

He served as Rabbi at Oxford University for 11 years where he built the Oxford L’Chaim Society into the University’s second largest student organization. At Oxford he befriended Newark Mayor Corey Booker and the two remain close friends. Today Newsweek calls Shmuley “the most famous Rabbi in America”. In 2008 Rabbi Shmuley launched the national family dinner initiative ‘Turn Friday Night Into Family Night,’ which has garnered support from every corner of American society.
