Rabbi Dr. Eliezer Brodt was born and raised in the United States of America. He attended Yeshiva Shaar HaTorah (Queens, NY) for high school and completed his undergraduate degree in Yeshivah Shaar HaTorah (Queens, NY), Beth Medrash Govoha (Lakewood, NJ), and Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim (Jerusalem, IL). Rabbi Dr. Brodt obtained his PhD in Judaic Studies from the Talmud Department at Bar Ilan University, in 2015. His doctoral dissertation was written on Halachic Commentaries to the Shulchan Aruch on Orach Chayim from Ashkenaz and Poland in the Seventeenth Century. Currently, Rabbi Dr. Brodt resides in Ramat Beit Shemesh, Israel, with his wife and their four children.

Rabbi Dr. Brodt has been collecting Seforim and other Judaic literature for over 35 years. As a self-described “book addict”, he is deeply involved in all aspects of the Jewish literary world, in both the Hebrew and English languages. In addition to studying, editing, producing, and marketing Seforim and Judaic literature of all genres, Rabbi Dr. Brodt has authored two Seforim of his own, Bein Kesseh L'asur & Likutei Eliezer. Rabbi Dr. Brodt has also published some of the writings of R’ Yehudah Avida, R’ Shmuel Askenazi, R’ Moshe Reines and R’ Eitam Henkin H”YD [here & here]. His essays and reviews on literary affairs have appeared in many different publications and formats, both in print (books [here & here], journals, newspapers) and digital format (blogs, online forums, websites).
Many of Rabbi Dr. Brodt’s literary works can be viewed on The Seforim Blog & on his Academia Page.

Beginning in 2022, Rabbi Dr. Brodt has given video lectures based on his vast knowledge of Judaic studies, literature, and Jewish History, via the Orthodox Union’s All-Daf / All-Torah platform (available here & here).
To date, he has recorded over 70 episodes on topics ranging from Seforim which are relevant to the Daf HaYomi cycle, Achronim, R’ Chaim Kanievsky’s literary legacy, and various Minhaghim related to the Yom Tovim. These lectures are enjoyed by a broad and diverse audience.
This positive experience has led Rabbi Dr. Brodt to create a platform of his own to record and disseminate additional lectures in the form of a weekly audio podcast.
