Who is Shraga Simmons?

Shraga Simmons is an Orthodox Jewish rabbi, journalist and filmmaker involved in Orthodox Jewish outreach. He is the senior editor of Aish.com and the director of JewishPathways.com, both Jewish learning websites. He has produced a number of short, online films about media bias in coverage of the Arab–Israeli conflict.
