Born and bred in Kew Gardens Hills, Rabbi Shafier joined the Choftez Chaim Yeshiva after High school. First learning in Forest Hills for two years, he then studied under Rabbis' Davidowitz and Rabbi Harris when they were co-Rosh Yeshiva in Rochester. He then moved on to the Rosh Yeshiva's Blatt Shiur in Chofetz Chaim Queens where he learnt for 3 years. Shortly thereafter he got married and he and his new family moved to Rochester, where he was learning in Kollel and giving the 11th grade Shiur. He remained in Rochester for 12 years. He then moved to Monsey, NY, where he was a Rebbe in the new Chofetz Chaim branch there for 3 years. Upon the Rosh Yeshiva's request he stopped teaching to devote his time to running Tiferes Bnei Torah. Rabbi Shafier, a happily married father of 6 children currently resides in Monsey, NY.
