He was ordained as an Orthodox rabbi in 1947 within the ḤaBaD Hasidic movement while under the leadership of the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn, and served ḤaBaD communities in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Born in Żółkiew, Poland (now Ukraine) and raised in Vienna, he was interned in detention camps under the Vichy Regime but managed to flee the Nazi advance, emigrating to the United States in 1941. Zalman Meshullam Schachter-Shalomi, affectionately known as "Reb Zalman" (28 August 1924 – 3 July 2014) was one of the founders of the Jewish Renewal movement.

The ashrei is noteworthy, too, because of its use of parallelism, a literary device in which the first half of a Biblical verse is restated-and therefore amplified-in the second half of the verse. Legend has it that the Psalmist omitted that letter because it begins the root n f l נפל “to fall,” and its use would therefore remind the worshiper of the “falling” of the two Temples in Jerusalem and the subsequent exiles of the Jewish people.
The only letter missing from the acrostic is נ. It takes the form of an alphabetical acrostic… as if to say “Let every single letter of the alphabet find a way to praise the Eternal One!” The ashrei is the earliest such example of the alphabetical acrostic in prayer hundreds of medieval piyyutim (poem-prayers) later followed its example. One of the best known of the Psalms, ashrei is recited three times every weekday (once at the morning service, once at the afternoon service, and once in personal prayer) and a fourth time on Shabbat (during the Torah-reading service). ת May my mouth utter the praise of Adonai, and may all flesh bless God’s name forever and ever. ש Adonai protects all those who love God, but will destroy all the wicked. ר God will fulfill the wishes of the reverent God will hear their cry and deliver them.
ק Adonai is near to all those who call, to all who call upon God sincerely. צ Adonai is righteous in every way, and faithful in every deed. פ You open Your hand and feed every living creature until it is satisfied. ע The eyes of all look to You in hope, and You give them their food in due season.
ס Adonai supports all those who stumble, and straightens all those who are bent. מ Your kingdom will last forever, and You will rule in every generation. ל To inform all human beings of God’s mighty acts, and the majestic glory of Your dominion. כ They will speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and will tell of Your power. י All Your works will thank You, Adonai, and Your faithful ones will bless You. ט Adonai is good to all, and God’s tender mercies are upon all of God’s works.
