He previously spent 3 years learning in Eretz Yisrael—two years at Yeshivat Shaalvim and one year at Yeshivat Derech HaTalmud under the leadership of Rav Chaim Ilson. Rav Wagner attended Yeshiva University as a member of the prestigious Masmidim Honors Program while attending Rav Michael Rosensweig’s shiur.

Rav Wagner’s dedication to teaching Torah is evident from the breadth and depth of the shiurim he has given and the institutions where he has served as a Rebbe.

He has taught at Shaalvim for Women and Midreshet Moriah delivering shiurim on a plethora of topics such as Practical Halacha, Jewish History and its interface with Halacha, Jewish Philosophy, the laws of Shabbat, Tefillah, Parsha and more.
