Eliezer Weinbach (he/him) is a rabbinical student at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah in New York City, with expected ordination in 2024. He graduated from Yeshiva University with a BA in Psychology, and slowly made his way from that field to the Jewish professional world. As a retreat coordinator at The Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center, Eli discovered both environmentalism and “all-streams” Judaism, and it is at the intersection of those concepts that he makes his home. Eli is pursuing a Masters degree in Sustainability Management in addition to his rabbinic studies, and hopes to use both secular and religious sources as an environmental educator for the Jewish community. The T’ruah will be his fifth fellowship, following participation in the JOFEE, Hadar Jewish Wisdom, Adamah Farm, and UJA Graduate fellowships. Anywhere that people are working to free themselves from the constraints of conflicting truths, you will find Eli cheering them on.
