Rabbi Shoshan hails originally from Chicago, where he was profoundly influenced by his rebbe, Rabbi Meyer Juzint, a Slabodka-trained talmid chacham who taught in Chicago for over fifty years. After leaving Chicago, Rabbi Shoshan learned in several yeshivas including Yeshivat Hakotel and Mir Yeshiva, and later received both semicha and a masters in Jewish education from Yeshiva University. From 2002-2004, Rabbi Shoshan and his family lived in Los Angeles, where they were among the founding leadership of the LINK Kollel in Westwood. There, he lectured in many area shuls, at universities, and even at Dodger Stadium.

Since returning to Israel in 2004, he has been giving daily Gemara *shiurim*at Darche Noam/Shapell's as well as afternoon hashkafa *vaadim* and mussar *shmuessen*. In his capacity as *mashgiach, *he conducts regular meetings with students, helping assist them with the myriad challenges of growing personally and spiritually. Rabbi Shoshan is also a periodic visitor to communities and campuses in the US and United Kingdom, and works together with American *mechanchim* and *mekarvim* to maximize the experiences that students have learning at Darche Noam/Shapell's and its sister seminary, Midreshet Rachel v'Chaya.
