Farewell to the Weinstocks Trying to fit seventeen years of dedication to KJ into one paragraph is a near-impossible task.

Do we mention all of Rabbi Weinstock’s inspiring sermons, articles, and programming? His commitment to the KJ Community and the greater Jewish community: AIPAC, Chabad, New York Board of Jewish Rabbis, to name a few? His dedication to outreach and his shepherding over the years of hundreds of chozrei b’teshuva and converts through the vibrant KJ Beginners program? His enthusiasm for Shabbat Across America, ensuring the highest number of participants every year?

His commitment to personal and rabbinic growth as a fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute? His missions to Morocco, Ramallah, and Guatemala?

The thousands of sheilot he has answered over the years, usually within minutes of your hitting “Send.” His terrific sense of humor? The warm hospitality of the entire Weinstock family, sharing their table over countless Shabbatot and holidays with friends and friends-to-be?

Of course, so much of this would have been impossible to accomplish without the support of his wife, Dr. Naama, and their wonderful children, Meira, Yona, Aviva, and Yakira. So much that has benefited KJ stems from this incredibly supportive family, who shared their home with the community and gave up personal time with Rabbi Weinstock for the greater KJ good. Heartfelt thanks to all the Weinstocks!!

Wishing you mazal and bracha in this new chapter of your lives.
