Rabbi Schorr has produced numerous publications including the compiler of Ohr Gedaliyahu and numerous other works. His lectures, mostly in Yiddish, but also English, are threaded from multiple sources to clarify the meaning of daily prayers, ethical teachings, and detailed commentaries on the Talmud. He holds a regular schedule of lectures, and has a following about more than 100 students who learn daily "Daf Yomi", the daily learning of the Talmud. His lectures have been described as "thick" with content, challenging his audience to keep pace with his multi-threaded points. His late Shabbos Evening meals are attended by hundreds of followers.
Rabbi Schorr has published over 100 written works largely based on his lectures. Available references are of Hebrew texts that cover his speeches at Shaloes Shuddus (the last meal on the Sabbath), and his works on Prayer and Holidays, ordered by month and year.
