Rabbi Berel Wein
 |
Rabbi Berel Wein is a world renowned lecturer,
and writer. In 1964, Rabbi Wein accepted the rabanit position of Beth
Israel Congregation in Miami Beach, Florida, where he remained until 1972.
He moved to New York when he was appointed as executive vice-president of
the Union of Orthodox Organizations of America (known as the Orthodox
Union). Within that organization, he served as rabbinic administrator of
the kashrus supervision division until 1977. |
| At the same time, he founded
Congregation Bais Torah in Suffern, New York, and served as its rabbi for
the next 24 years. Rabbi Wein also founded Yeshiva Shaarei Torah of
Rockland with a large high school and a smaller post-high school division
in 1977. The yeshiva subsequently moved onto the grounds of his synagogue
and he served as Rosh Yeshiva until his move to Israel in 1997.
During these years, Rabbi Wein produced many audio tapes on both Torah
teachings and Jewish history. These helped to popularize the latter
subject, which had often been perceived as boring. After detailed
research, he went on to publish a four-volume series of coffee table books
spanning 2,300 years of Jewish history, for which he is widely known in
English-speaking Orthodox communities. |
