Rabbi Menachem Weiss
Rabbi Menachem Weiss has been fighting the war against Jewish assimilation since the day he was born! The son of two nationally recognized powerhouses in Jewish education and communal development, Rabbi Meshulam and Dr. Eileen Weiss, Rabbi Weiss and his siblings learned early on to be proud Jews and that they had a special mission to fulfill in this world. Growing up in Miami Beach, where one couldn't buy kosher meat, or even gain admittance, as a Jew, into fancy hotels on the beach, when the Weiss family arrived, Rabbi Weiss learned, first-hand, what it meant to stand strong and reach out to his fellow Jews in both physical and spiritual need. Today, Rabbi Weiss is the Executive Director of S.T.A.R. (Sephardic Tradition And Recreation), and together with his talented wife, Baila, and their seven beautiful children, he continues in the age-old Weiss tradition of spreading the message of Ahavat Yisrael to children of all ages throughout the world.
