Aaron Weininger
AARON WEININGER is in his final year of rabbinical school at the Jewish Theological Seminary. Concentrating in pastoral care, he spent two summers as a chaplain intern at Bellevue Hospital Center in New York and most recently served as the rabbi of a naturally occurring retirement community and a Kosher soup kitchen for isolated and homeless older adults on the Lower East Side. He received the Schusterman Rabbinical Fellowship, which provided three years of formal study on key issues in American and Israeli Jewry and communal leadership. He was selected for the Rabbis Without Borders Fellowship of Clal, the National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, and served on the national advisory board of Evaded Issues in Jewish Education, a groundbreaking project started by the JTS Davidson School of Jewish Education. Having been a member of a Jewish a cappella group, Aaron has brought his love for Jewish music, singing, and learning to student pulpits in Portland, Maine, Sag Harbor, New York, and Hamilton, New York and trained in congregation-based community organizing for clergy. He currently serves as the Legacy Heritage Rabbinic Fellow at Congregation Emanuel in Statesville, North Carolina. After serving as rabbinic intern at Park Slope Jewish Center in Brooklyn, he returned for a second year in a newly-created position there as rabbinic fellow. Aaron is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, where he studied Anthropology and Jewish Near Eastern Studies. He addressed the opening plenary of the 2011 General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America on pastoral care in the rabbinate and last summer spoke on LGBT inclusion as part of the Jewish Social Justice Roundtable at the White House.
