Rabbi Yosef Wineberg, once called Chabad-Lubavitch’s “globetrotting ambassador” and the first in the United States to have a regular class on Chabad philosophy broadcast over the radio waves, passed away Wednesday at the age of 94. A faculty member of the United Lubavitch Yeshiva school system, he was known not only for his scholarly knowledge, but also for his calculated and patient words, and characteristic Chasidic warmth towards his fellow man.
