About
Chona Menachem Mendel (Mendel) Weinbach (24 September 1933 – 11 December 2012) was an Orthodox Jewish rabbi and one of the fathers of the modern-day baal teshuva movement in his capacity as co-founder and dean of Ohr Somayach Institutions, a Jerusalem-based educational network for young, non-Hasidic Jewish men. From the yeshiva's founding in 1970 until his death in 2012, Weinbach taught, mentored and advised generations of students, helping beginners master a high level of textual learning skills and embrace an Orthodox Jewish lifestyle. He was a father figure to thousands, investing much time in guiding his students both during their yeshiva years and after they married, and actively participated in the brissim and bar mitzvahs of their children.
