Personal bio:
Reb Ezra Weinberg (F97) is a local product and Hampshire graduate.   
While at school he did his Division II and III in Conflict  
Transformation with an emphasis on creating hope and new realities in  
the Middle East.  After he graduated he moved to Israel and founded an  
Urban Kibbutz to help further that vision.  While in Israel he  
rediscovered how subversive religion is at its core and decided that  
to lay a spiritual framework on his peace-work and decided to become a  
rabbi.  Leaving Israel, Ezra attend the Reconstructionist Rabbinical  
College for his training where he discovered the power of communal  
prayer to inspire action and change.  He was most recently involved  
with creating the Occupy Rosh Hashana service at Occupy Wall Street  
this year.  He currently lives in New York City with his wife and  
child as a part time rabbi and part time stay home Dad.
