Reisman is one of the roshei yeshiva (deans) at Yeshiva Torah Vodaas,^[4][5][6][7] where he received semikhah (rabbinical ordination). He is the rabbi of the summer camp network run by Agudath Israel of America.^[8][9][1] Reisman is the author of several books on halakha (Jewish law) and Tanach (the Jewish bible).

In 2018, when the New York State Education Department issued a directive to all yeshivas operating in New York to come into compliance with statewide educational standards, Reisman co-authored an op-ed with Elya Brudny in the Wall Street Journal voicing their opposition to the guidelines.^[10]

Reisman believes that the future of the Jewish people is in Israel, and that the Jews who remain in the diaspora should support Torah study there.^[11]
