About Wearer
From Wikipedia:
Berel Wein (Hebrew: ברל ויין; March 25, 1934 – August 16, 2025) was an American-born Orthodox rabbi, lecturer and writer. He authored several books, in both Hebrew and English, concerning Jewish history and popularized the subject through more than 1,000 audio tapes, newspaper articles and international lectures. Throughout his career, he retained personal and ideological ties to both Modern Orthodox and Haredi Judaism.
Family
Wein was born March 25, 1934 in Chicago to a family descended from Lithuanian rabbis. His father, Rabbi Zev Wein (1906-2004), a disciple of Rabbi Shimon Shkop, and later of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook at Mercaz HaRav Yeshiva in Jerusalem,[2]later emigrated to the United States and served as a rabbi in Chicago until the 1970s.
In 1955 he married Yocheved (Jackie) Levin, who had been born in Lithuania, in 1934 and emigrated to Detroit with her parents at the age of 4. The couple settled in Chicago and had four children, 29 grandchildren and 70 great-grandchildren.[4]
When Wein’s wife Yocheved died in 2006, he married Mira Cohen, a descendent of multiple Chasidic dynasties and a Holocaust survvior. Mira died in 2018. Wein lived in Rehavia.
