Hillel Weinberg

Apparently the subject was never the rosh yeshiva of Aish HaTorah, as verified by articles stating that Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovits, appointed rosh yeshiva in 2019, is the first rosh yeshiva since the death of Noah Weinberg. The rosh yeshiva fact was put forth by one source, now a dead link; the rest of this page is non-notable biography. Recommend delete. Yoninah (talk) 22:10, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Comment. This isn't my area, but here is a record from the United States House of Representatives detailing information about him while he was serving in a chaplain's capacity to that governing body. Not sure if any of it lends towards notability.4meter4 (talk) 03:53, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
 * what does the source say? It's behind a paywall. Yoninah (talk) 09:58, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Maybe there's another place to access public record documents online. It's included in Legislative History of public law PL103-204 if that helps. It gives a summary of his life and career before he opens the session with prayer.4meter4 (talk) 10:07, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't see how that makes him notable. He was an interim rosh yeshiva at Aish HaTorah for a very short time. Yoninah (talk) 12:14, 25 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Yoninah, I am not versed enough in Jewish tradition/studies to even know what rosh yeshiva is. lol I was merely bringing forward a source that came from an interesting place that might have been useful. I wasn't making an argument for or against deletion. I trust your assessment.4meter4 (talk) 16:48, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   08:25, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable individual. None of the present references mention the subject at all. There is a Hebrew article, but it has no references. I found this, which only reports that he got remarried. Havradim (talk) 07:35, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the Hebrew source, . Looks like he isn't a rosh yeshiva at all, but a mashgiach ruchani. Fails PROF #6. Yoninah (talk) 11:22, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
