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.
