About Us

Roy S. Neuberger was educated at the Ethical Culture Schools, where he met Linda (Leah) Villency, his future wife. They were married after Roy's sophomore year at the University of Michigan, from which they both graduated with High Honors in English Language and Literature.

After receiving his Master's Degree, Roy continued his English studies at Balliol College, Oxford, England, while Linda studied art at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum. After their return to America, Roy became Director of Conservation for the City of New York. Following two years in government, Roy became publisher and editor of a weekly newspaper in Cornwall, New York. After a move to Long Island in 1974, he worked as a newspaper editor, a yeshiva administrator and hedge fund operator.

In November, 2000, Roy's first book, "FROM CENTRAL PARK TO SINAI: How I Found My Jewish Soul," was published. It has since been reprinted three more times, the latest editions in paperback. It is also available in Russian translation and in audio format (CD and MP3). In November, 2003, Roy’s second book appeared, “WORLDSTORM: Finding Meaning & Direction Amidst Today’s World Crisis.”  Since 2000, Roy and Leah have toured the United States, Canada, England and Israel, where their story has evoked wide and heartfelt response. In September, 2007, Roy’s third book, 2020 VISION, appeared in Israel in Hebrew translation. It is scheduled to be released in English by Feldheim Publishers in the Spring of 2008. The Neubergers' children and grandchildren live in Israel and the New York metropolitan area.

Leah Neuberger was raised in Long Island, the product of an assimilated family for whom Jewish observance was a relic of the past. After years of an “American” childhood, attending the finest schools, she and her husband Roy felt there must be more to life. Roy’s book, “From Central Park to Sinai: How I Found My Jewish Soul,” recounts their spiritual journey.

Besides speaking, Leah instructs kallahs (prospective brides) and works on shidduchim (setting up dates for singles), and teaches prayer classes at Hineni. In addition, she was president of Sisterhood at her synagogue for twelve years.
