Matzav reports: Rabbi  Wein a  veteran figure in the rabbinate and a beloved teacher to thousands, devoted his life to harbatzas haTorah and preserving the legacy of Klal Yisroel through his prolific work in Jewish history and education.

Born in Chicago into a family of Litvishe rabbonim on March 25, 1934, his father, Rabbi Zev Wein (1906-2004), was a talmid of Rav Shimon Shkop. Rabbi Zev Wein later emigrated to the United States and served as a rov in Chicago until the 1970s.

In 1955, he married Yocheved (Jackie) Levin, who had been born in Lita, in 1934 and had emigrated to Detroit with her parents, Rav and Rebbetzin Leizer Levin, at the age of 4.

Rabbi Wein received semicha from Hebrew Theological College, where he learned under some of the foremost rabbonim of the time, including Rav Chaim Kreiswirth, Rav Mordechai Rogow and Rav Mendel Kaplan.

He earned his bachelor’s degree from Roosevelt College in Chicago, followed by a law degree from DePaul University Law School, and later received a Doctorate from Hebrew Theological College.

After a successful career in law, Rabbi Wein entered the rabbanus in 1964, accepting the pulpit of Beth Israel Congregation in Miami Beach, Florida. He served there until 1972, before assuming the position of mara d’asra of Congregation Bais Torah in Monsey, New York, a position he held with distinction for 24 years. During this time, he also served as Executive Vice President of the Orthodox Union (OU), and later as Rabbinic Administrator of its Kashrus Division.

In 1977, he founded Yeshiva Shaarei Torah in Suffern, New York, establishing both a high school and a beis medrash division, and served as rosh yeshiva until 1997. That year, Rabbi Wein and his wife, Rebbetzin Yocheved Wein—daughter of Rav and Rebbetzin Leizer Levin, rov of Detroit—moved to Yerushalayim. There, Rabbi Wein joined Beit Knesset Hanasi and, in 2002, was appointed its mara d’asra.

Widely regarded as one of the premier Jewish historians of our time, Rabbi Wein authored numerous seminal works on Jewish history and has delivered thousands of shiurim across the globe. His voice and vision shaped generations of Jews seeking a deeper understanding of their past and a more meaningful connection to their heritage. In recognition of his lifelong contributions, Rabbi Wein received the prestigious Torah Prize Award from Machon Harav Frank in Yerushalayim for his impact on Torah education and the spread of Judaism throughout the world.

The levayah will be held Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. at Beit Knesset Hanasi, located at 24 Rechov Menachem Usishkin in Yerushalayim, followed by kevurah on Har Hazeisim.

Rabbi Wein is survived by his son, Rabbi Chaim Wein, and three daughters, Mrs. Sori Teitelbaum, Mrs. Miriam Gettinger, and Mrs. Dina Gewirtz, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.(Matzav)
