Rav Kaplan is Mara D'asra of a Kehila in Givat Hamivtar, Ramat Eshkol, Jerusalem. Rabbi Kaplan currently gives a daily (sunday-thursday) in-depth talmud lecture to about 200 people (among the biggest english shiurim in the world). He also serves as one of the Rashei Yeshiva at the Mir in Jerusalem, teaching English-speaking students in Walmark building of the Mir. One of his stand out qualities is that he remains highly accessible to his talmidim or anyone else who wants to speak with him.

For so many who studied at Yeshivas Mir, Harav Kaplan’s home was a “home away from home.” They bonded with their beloved rebbe and those years became the basis for an enduring relationship. Harav Kaplan frequently travels to different parts of the globe to maintain his strong bond with his talmidim. “Irrespective of what stage in life we are in,” says Mr. Neiman, “Harav Kaplan is always there for us. It is amazing how our families become so much a part of his extended family.” Harav Kaplan is considered one of the great “mashpiim” of our generation, inspiring so many young men and their families to follow the Torah derech that he is well-known for.
Harav Kaplan is a marbitz Torah revered worldwide, often giving shiurim and divrei chizuk to thousands. He meets often with Gedolei Yisrael on a host of topics. His shiur at Yeshivas Mir attracts hundreds of bachurim often filling some of the largest halls at the Yeshiva. (Excerpt from www.yeshivaworldnews.com)
