Biography

Rabbi Shalom Mordechai Hakohen Schwadron was a Haredi rabbi and orator in Yerushalayim, known for his public mussar drashos and storytelling. His vivid portrayals of earlier Torah leaders and tzaddikim were widely disseminated, including through the English-language Maggid book series authored by Rabbi Paysach Krohn, whom he mentored. Through decades of speeches in Yerushalayim and abroad, he popularized mussar and ethical reflection in the postwar Haredi world.
