Meet Rabbi Tzvi (Hilton) Wainstein

This page is dedicated to the memory of our school friend – Saul Neutel z”l

Rabbi Tzvi (Hilton) Wainstein made aliyah from Johannesburg, South Africa in 1979 upon completion of his high-school studies at King David High School, Victory Park.  He studied at the Ohr Sameach Seminary and then at Netzach Yisrael under the “modern Talmudic genius” of  Harav Gustman z”l, a senior Rabbinic leader originally from Vilna.  Under Harav Shternbuch, Rabbi Wainstein received his rabbinical ordination and then a teacher’s diploma and B.Ed.  Rabbi Wainstein also participated in editing 11 volumes of Artscroll Gemarah.  Rabbi Wainstein now prepares advanced students for “Semichah” (Rabbinical ordination), and is a senior lecturer and head of recruiting for a post high school program called “Derech”.

His vision:  I would like to see the Jewish values of new immigrants, their sense of belonging and Jewish identities growing stronger here in Israel.
