Mayerfeld was born in Vineland, New Jersey. His father, Manfred Mayerfeld, was in the poultry business and was an active member of the Vineland Jewish community.[1]
When Mayerfeld joined the Ner Yisroel faculty, he was a high school rebbi (religious studies teacher). He was promoted to Rosh Yeshiva after the death of the former Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Dov Gavriel Ginsburg.
Currently, Mayerfeld is an active leader of the Toronto Jewish community. He leads a daf yomi (Talmud) class for the general public[4] and frequently speaks at public Jewish events.[5][6]
