Rabbi Wein

Rabbi Berel Wein, Jewish historian, author and international lecturer, brings a unique outlook to the study of the weekly Torah portion. His parsha class identifies a broad theme in Jewish thought and shows how the idea has modern relevance. His passion for Jewish history places the Torah theme in an historical context and shows how the Torah values have wound their way through the ebb and flow of Jewish history into modern times. His insights will make Jewish thought and Jewish history come alive as they inspire our everyday lives.

The founding Rosh Yeshiva (Dean) of Yeshiva Shaarei Torah of Monsey, which he led for 20 years, Rabbi Wein is the author of three major works on Jewish history and two books on Talmudic and Halachic issues.

Rabbi Wein’s Jerusalem-based Destiny Foundation creates multi-media educational products such as the award winning movie, Rashi, with Leonard Nimoy as the voice of Rashi. His provocative weekly Jerusalem Post column challenges the mind and the Israeli establishment. His 5-week tape series entitled The Crash Course in Jewish History will put Jewish history at your fingertips.

Rabbi Wein’s 700 audio tapes on Jewish personalities and Jewish history have sold over 1 million copies worldwide. His Triumph of Survival Jewish history book series is a best seller.
