About
Rivka Weinberg, known as Rebbetzin Rivka Weinberg, was the wife of Rabbi Noah Weinberg, founder of Aish HaTorah, an international Jewish outreach organization aimed at reconnecting secular Jews with Orthodox Judaism. She co-founded and played a pivotal role in the early development of Aish HaTorah, contributing to its founding in Jerusalem in 1974. Her work was particularly focused on establishing and supporting programs for women's education, family life, and spiritual growth, emphasizing the importance of nurturing Jewish families and providing tailored outreach for women. She was recognized for her compassionate approach, dedication to Jewish causes, and work behind the scenes to foster an inclusive environment for ba'al teshuva (returnees to Judaism) communities. Rebbetzin Weinberg remained actively involved in Aish HaTorah's mission until her later years, leaving a lasting legacy in Jewish outreach and education. She passed away in 2015, survived by her children and grandchildren who continue to uphold the family's commitment to Jewish learning and outreach.
