Rabbi Yaakov Wincelberg

Reb Yaakov runs the Yeshiva’s Bekius program. In recent years, he has raised second-seder to a significantly higher level of scholarship adding chaburos on the practical Halachic application of the studied mesechta and regularly scheduled chazara (review) weeks. Under his guidance, the bochurim in the Yeshiva have achieved greater retention, interest, and depth in their studies. In the late evenings, students are treated to R’ Yaakov’s mussar and hashkafah shiurim. Whether teaching Rambam, Alei Shur, or Sifsei Chaim, R’ Yaakov excites and inspires his talmidim with his clarity and breadth of knowledge. He is the translator of the recently published mussar sefer by Rebbeinu Avraham ben HaRambam, HaMaspik Le’Ovdei Hashem (available from amazon.com and Feldheim.com). Rabbi Wincelberg grew up in Los Angeles, and attended Yeshiva Bais Moshe of Scranton, Mercaz HaTorah (Jerusalem), Yeshiva Gedolah (LA), and Ner Yisrael (Baltimore) before arriving in Miami.
