Aish Campus of Cincinnati @ University of Cincinnati and Miami U. of Ohio is a subdivision of Aish Cleveland and the Cincinnati Community Kollel. We run exciting programs including Aish Leadership, trips to Israel and Shabbatons both on and off Campus. Students also have opportunities to learn about Judaism one-on-one with a Rabbi or in small groups, allowing Jewish students to discuss what's on their minds.
Rabbi Rafi Weinschneider was born in Chicago, has lived on an Air Force base in Wichita Falls, TX (where his father was a chaplain), then moved to Jerusalem where he spent six years before returning to Chicago as a nine year old. He studied in Brisk Talmudic Academy in Chicago and at seventeen he entered Ner Israel Rabbinical College. While working on his rabbinic studies he studied at Johns Hopkins in the evenings, from where he earned his MBA.
In 2002, Rabbi Weinschneider moved to Cincinnati to join the Cincinnati Community Kollel. Over the past four years he continued his studies while giving classes in synagogues, leading groups in the kollel and giving a Discovering Judaism class at Miami of Ohio.
Rabbi Weinschneider has a wife and three kids and is currently working with Aish and the Kollel, organizing trips all over the world and assisting Jewish students at University of Cincinnati and Miami of Ohio to better connect to their heritage.
