Roy Neuberger grew up in an affluent home in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, where
he was raised in an atmosphere devoid of Jewish observance. In pain from the
spiritual emptiness, he began a search for truth. Linda Villency grew up on Long
Island in a similar atmosphere. Her parents, although they acknowledged their
Jewishness, did not observe mitzvos.
They met in high school and continued their search together. After eleven years of
marriage, Roy and Linda (now Leah) encountered Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis, the
child of the Holocaust who became an eloquent spokeswomen for the great tradition
of classic Torah Jewish life. After attending the Rebbetzin’s Torah classes and
visiting Israel with her, they adopted the Jewish lifestyle and moved to the
community on Long Island where Rebbetzin Jungreis’ husband served as rabbi.
They now reside in Jerusalem.
Roy is the author of six books and has been writing weekly articles and videos for
many years. Linda is his first editor. Since the publication of Roy’s first book, they
have spoken to Jewish audiences in hundreds of locations in fifteen countries. Roy’s
articles and videos are distributed through email and WhatsApp and appear on
Jewish websites, including Voz Iz Neias (VIN News), Channel 613 and Lakewood
Scoop. His articles appeared in Yated Ne’eman for thirteen years as well as the
Jewish Press and continue to appear in The Jewish Connection.
Roy’s books are “From Central Park to Sinai: How I Found My Jewish Soul”
(Jonathan David, 2000), “Worldstorm: Finding Meaning & Direction Amidst Today’s
World Crisis” (Israel Bookshop, 2003), “2020 Vision” (Feldheim Publishers, 2008),

about Roy and Leah entitled “From Sinai to Yerushalayim” (Artscroll/Mesorah), which
is available through Artscroll.
