From the desk of Rabbi Steven Burg, AISH CEO
Understanding the needs and challenges of Jewish communities around the world is so important for the health and continuity of the Jewish people. As my travel took me to Egypt this past week, I felt a certain amount of conflict that I hadn’t before.
What we can never forget is that we are family. The greater Jewish family. We can argue all day long but in the end we must hug each other. We must love each other. We must defend each other.
We must constantly seek unity and brotherhood. This is what the Almighty desires above all else for His children.
We are the only people who have a designated term for our particular form of racism: “antisemitism.” It is as strong today as it was in the time of the Egyptians.
The Seder is the night where we attempt to intellectually stimulate Jews of all ages around our table. We reminisce about how, when all seemed lost, the Almighty heard our prayers, rescuing us from tyranny and oppression.
No one sacrificed more for Aish or worked harder to build our organization than Rebbetzin Weinberg. Incredibly, she still managed to raise twelve beautiful children while playing a pivotal role at Aish.
Our family suffered a terrible loss this week. The passing of Rebbetzin Denah Weinberg, zt’l is the end of an era for Aish.
Rav Noach was famous for telling his students that if he had ten of the right Jews, he could change the world. Often he would say that Rabbi David Geffen was certainly one of those ten.
Being a part of Aish means seeking out ways to heal the world and build proverbial bridges all around us.
AISH has and always will be there for every Jew no matter where they are located. Please join the entire AISH family as we achieve our philanthropic goal and tell the world that the Jewish Nation is alive and well. Am Yisroel Chai!
One of the highlights of the year in Jerusalem is when we have Aish Branch directors from around the world converge on our headquarters in Jerusalem for our annual Aish ProDev Conference.
We observed the 14th yahrzeit of Aish founder and leader, the great visionary, Rabbi Noach Weinberg zt”l.
While we have many memorials and tributes planned, the greatest legacy for Rav Noach is in the power of his students who continue to lead the way around the world.
When Chief Rabbi Moshe Reuven Azman of Ukraine came to visit me in Jerusalem, I asked how I could help. He suggested that I come to strengthen the resolve of the Jews of Ukraine. I immediately said I would try my best to come.
AishVision 2030 is not just Aish’s vision. It is a vision for the Jewish Nation. We are only as strong as the love that Jews have for each other and the Almighty.
We have a mission at Aish. We know that the knowledge that we possess can change lives for the better. We must facilitate the dissemination of that knowledge and make it easily attainable for all.
It is not miraculous that Aish has achieved international recognition as one of the most inspirational and successful Jewish organizations in existence. Learn about the core values that got us here.
Every day millions of Jews are walking our streets with no knowledge of the beauty of our faith.We want everyone to be able to study Jewish wisdom from your home.
Once again it was my honor to represent Aish at the White House Chanukah party. It has always been a personally meaningful event for me as I am so thankful for the freedom of religion that we have as Jews in America.
Why do we think AishVision 2030 is so imperative for the Jewish people? Learn more about our why and how integral it is for the Jewish future.
I hope that this glimpse into the electric atmosphere at Aish gives you an idea of what we are focused on.

“Life revolves around words,” rap legend Nissim Black said at New York City’s Safra Center on Nov. 8th. “We take for granted how much speech has an effect on a person’s mind, soul, entire being.”
Our founder and mentor, Rabbi Noach Weinberg zt”l, built Aish on the core belief of taking responsibility.

I placed the holy ash in my wallet to then use at the Adler-Desatnik chuppa.
“Now I have been embraced by brothers I did not know I had and am spending time defending a country I didn’t know was mine.”
When I speak about only-at-Aish moments, it is one just like this. While we all may differ on our politics or opinions we can never forget that we all pray to the same G-d.
