About Rabbi Simcha Weinberg
Founder of The Foundation Stone
Rabbi Simcha Weinberg is an esteemed educator dedicated to making the depth and joy of Torah accessible to everyone.
He descends from a profoundly influential rabbinic lineage that has shaped the modern Jewish landscape. He is the son of Rabbi Shmuel Yaakov Weinberg, the former Rosh Yeshiva of Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore, and the grandson of Ner Israel's founder, Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchok Ruderman. Furthermore, he is the nephew of Rabbi Noach Weinberg, the founder of Aish HaTorah, and traces his ancestry back to the Slonimer Hasidic dynasty.
Drawing from this unique blend of Lithuanian intellectual rigor and Hasidic warmth, Rabbi Weinberg has spent over three decades teaching students of all backgrounds. He seamlessly weaves together Talmud, Halacha, and Chassidut, translating ancient spiritual concepts into practical, transformative wisdom for modern daily life.
