Contact Rabbi Brahm Weinberg

Rabbi Brahm Weinberg has served with distinction as the rabbi of the Kemp Mill Synagogue since 2015. Rabbi Weinberg is a passionate leader who believes in building community. He has taken an active role in shaping life at KMS by spearheading new ideas and initiatives, and by forming deep relationships with his congregants, escorting them through lifecycle moments and beyond. He has created a culture at KMS in which people are engaged intellectually and emotionally, inspired to grow in their Judaism and to think of KMS as their home.

Rabbi Weinberg is also an integral part of the greater community outside of KMS: He currently serves as the Secretary of the Vaad HaRabanim of Greater Washington, as Vice President of the Rabbinical Council of America (RCA), and as the chair of the RCA’s membership committee. 

Rabbi Weinberg is a native of Montreal, Canada. After a year of study at Yeshivat Hamivtar in Israel, he attended Yeshiva University (YU) where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.A. in History and Jewish Studies, also earning his Master’s degree from the Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and his Semicha from the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS). At RIETS, Rabbi Weinberg also studied in the Marcos and Adina Katz Kollel and at the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies.  

Prior to joining KMS, Rabbi Weinberg served as the rabbi of the Young Israel of West Hartford in Connecticut for six years. While still a student, he was the rabbinic intern at the Great Neck Synagogue and at Shaare Tefilla in Dallas, TX, a Sanford Lurie Scholar at The Jewish Center (UWS), a member of the Kollel Program at the Ramaz Upper School, and a Ner L’Elef Fellow.
