Yisrael Noah Weinberg ((ヘブライ語:ישראל נח וינברג)), known as Noah Weinberg (February 16, 1930 – February 5, 2009) was an Orthodox Jewish rabbi, rosh yeshiva, and one of the fathers of the Baal teshuva movement with his establishment of a global network of educational and ''kiruv'' (outreach) programs for unaffiliated Jewish men and women. Through the multifaceted activities of the Jerusalem-based Aish HaTorah organization, Weinberg influenced tens of thousands of college-aged youth to learn more about their Jewish heritage and embrace lives of Torah and mitzvah observance. He also reached out to business executives, professionals, and Hollywood celebrities with private and group Torah learning opportunities. Many of the programs which he and his staff developed became successful spin-offs in their own right. Some examples include the Discovery Seminar, Jerusalem Fellowships, HonestReporting, SpeedDating, and the highly visited Jewish educational website Aish.com. His upbeat, charismatic personality and message of attaining happiness through Torah wisdom were well-known to listeners of his widely circulated audio series titled "The 48 Ways to Wisdom". He co-authored the book, ''What the Angel Taught You: Seven Keys to Life Fulfillment'', published by ArtScroll in 2003〔''What the Angel Taught You: Seven Keys to Life Fulfillment'' (Artscroll, ISBN 978-1-57819-134-5)〕 and authored the book, ''The 5 Levels of Pleasure: Enlightened Decision Making for Success in Life'', published by SelectBooks in 2008. ==Biography== Yisrael Noah Weinberg was born on the Lower East Side of New York in 1930. His father, Rabbi Yitzchak Mattisyahu Weinberg was a Slonimer chassid, and a grandson of the first Slonimer Rebbe, Rabbi Avrohom Weinberg.〔(Rabbi Yitzchak Matisyahu Weinberg, came from a chassidic background – he was a Slonimer chassid, and a nephew and grandson of the Slonimer Rebbes )〕 His mother, Hinda, was a direct descendant of Rabbi Jacob ben Jacob Moses of Lissa, author of ''Nesivos Hamishpat''. Weinberg was a scion of the Slonimer Hasidic dynasty. He was the great-great-grandson of Rabbi Avraham of Slonim, author of ''Yesod HaAvodah'' and founder of the dynasty, and the grandson of Rabbi Noah Weinberg of Slonim and Tiberias, whom the first Slonimer Rebbe had sent to Eretz Yisrael to establish a Torah community in the late 19th century. Weinberg studied at Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin in Brooklyn, NY and Yeshivas Ner Yisroel in Baltimore, MD where he received his rabbinic ordination. He completed his undergraduate studies at Johns Hopkins University and his post-graduate studies at Loyola Graduate School. His older brother, Rabbi Yaakov Weinberg, who he considered his rebbe, later became rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Ner Yisroel. In 1953, Weinberg traveled to Israel to consult with the Chazon Ish regarding the response needed to counter the threat of assimilation in the Jewish world. However, the meeting was not meant to be as the Chazon Ish died while Weinberg was en route to Israel. He then became a traveling salesman for his brother's company and in the course of his travels to many small cities in the United States he discovered Jews of all kinds who were distant from their heritage.〔(The Rosh Yeshivah and the Shliach ) by Rabbi Avraham Berkowitz on Chabad.org〕 Weinberg married Denah Goldman, the daughter of Rabbi Elchanan Goldman of New York, in February 1958. They established their first home in the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem and shortly before the Six-Day War in 1967 they moved into a new apartment in the Kiryat Sanz neighborhood of Jerusalem, where they succeeded in raising their 12 children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Noah Weinberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
