Rabbi Benjamin Yudin has served as the spiritual leader of Congregation Shomrei Torah since 1969. Together with his wife Shevi, he has been involved in virtually every aspect of Jewish communal life in Fair Lawn. Rabbi Yudin is a senior member and past president of the Rabbinical Council of Bergen County and, in 2007, was appointed by Governor Jon Corzine to the New Jersey-Israel Commission.

Rabbi Yudin graduated with a B.A. in History from Yeshiva University. He then pursued a dual graduate program, earning semicha from Y.U.'s Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, as well as a master's degree in Jewish History. His association with Yeshiva continues to this day. A former rebbe in Y.U.'s high school

division, the Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy, Rabbi Yudin currently teaches Bible and Jewish Thought in the Mechina Program at Yeshiva College, and is a former dean of Mechina's predecessor, the James Striar School. He also chairs the Moshe Besdin Memorial Fund, which raises scholarship money for needy students from Russia, Iran, and other countries. In 1993, Rabbi Yudin received the Yeshiva College Alumni Association's prestigious Bernard Revel Memorial Award in Religion and Religious Education.

Rabbi Yudin's weekly parsha commentary on radio station WFMU's "JM in the AM" program is heard by thousands of listeners in the tristate area. Countless others have been inspired by the explanatory essays Rabbi Yudin contributed to the ArtScroll Transliterated Linear Siddur, a landmark prayerbook designed to enable all Jews to be full participants in the synagogue service.
