ba'al teshuva
, a Jew who became religious as an adult. Born in a displaced persons camp to concentration camp survivors, Rabbi Dr. Leon Weissberg went on to earn a doctorate in Education and become a prominent educator of teens and adults in Florida and beyond, specializing on the Holocaust. He has taken over 2,500 teens and adults to Poland and Israel on the acclaimed March of the Living program—and became an Orthodox rabbi at age 74.
