Rabbi Noah Weinberg
 |
Rabbi Noah Weinberg, head of the Aish Hatorah Yeshiva and
one of the trailblazers of Orthodox Jewish outreach (kiruv). Rabbi
Weinberg who grew up on Manhattan's Lower East Side, received his Torah
education at Brooklyn's Yeshivas Chaim Berlin and Baltimore's Ner Yisrael
Yeshiva, which was headed by his older brother Rabbi Ya'acov Weinberg.
Rabbi Weinberg, arrived in Israel about four decades ago and studied at
the Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem and at Yeshivat Hanegev in Netivot. In the 1960s, Rabbi Weinberg established yeshivos and educational
programs aimed at young Jewish men with secular backgrounds who were
interested in embracing traditional Judaism. He was co-founder of the
capital's Ohr Somayach and Aish Hatorah. |
| In the mid-1970s, he left Ohr
Somayach due to his different educational philosophy. While Ohr Somayach
encouraged its students to dedicate their lives to studying Torah, Rabbi
Weinberg believed that after several years of study students who were the
object of outreach should themselves get involved in reaching out to
secular Jews, or they should find work in a secular workplace and
influence fellow workers to embrace an Orthodox way of life. |
