David

Spiritual Rejuvenation Center

David Kinberg,

Director of Development

David was born in Saint Louis, Missouri, one of seven children.

His

Mother, Ethel Kinberg, of blessed memory,

had studied

with Shlomo

Carlebach

, who taught her a

bout two famous personas in Jewish

history

King David and Joseph (one of Jacob’s twelve sons).

This is how the

journey of David Joseph began.

As a child,

David was secure and happy. His life was very similar to

the

adventures of most young children, and was filled with outdoor

activities,

sports, and just having lots of fun. There was some formal

Jewish

education -- basically just enough to get a bar mitzvah.

A major event was the death of his

father, Leonard Kinberg, of blessed

memory,

when David was fourteen years old.

David was

very affected by

the loss, and began to

withdr

w from

his

serious interest in sports

His

academic studies also suffered.

One teacher, however, took an interest in David, and seeing his

potential,

helped him get his life back on track. After going to Junior

college, David

was admitted into his dream school -- Washington

University in St. Louis.

His dream of being “someone” would finally

realized. However, the

pathways of life have lots of turns and

twists, and

it was just at this time

when David’s life took a major and

unexpected

change of course.

David accepted an invitation for Shabbos, during which he perceived

something very wondrous and profound. For the first time he truly

felt

the

beauty and love of Shabbos. And although he could not

explain

what he

felt, he knew something special was there. This

diverted David

onto and

unexpected path. The next six years were

filled with intensive

Yeshiva

studies (Talmud studies)

in Israel

, two

Rabbinic ordinations

and teaching

Judaism to unaffiliatd Jews.

Rabbi Kinberg

was 100% dedicated to the development of the

Jewish

community

, and

felt his life path to be

clear and

direct

was offered a

position

teach

ing

Judaism

to unaffiliated Jewish

students

at a major university

in the USA.

After moving his family back

the USA for the university

position,

second major twist in the

path

occurred

. That year

the stock market

took a major plunge,

causing a

dwindling of

fund

for

many Jewish causes, including his

position

Needing to provided for his family, he

sought employment outside of

rabbinics and Jewish education, and

began to

work in the field of

insurance

. His marriage and Jewish life suffered from the many

upheavals.

David's

path continued to take various twists and turns until David’s

family

found the

Carlebach Minyan

at the Boca Raton Synagogue.

With the warmth and love of the

Carlebach Minyan

the divergent and

sometime difficult paths began to converge and a new pathway

emerged.

David’s journey led to the creation of the Spiritual

Rejuvenation Center

with Rabbi Yisrael Finman.

David’s life is

anchored

in Torah, lovingly

supported by his wife Donna Kinberg

and his children

Eliezer Chaim

(18),

Shaina Nechama (17), Miriam

Shira (15), Esther Ilana

(6), Adira

Tsophia (3).
