[1][2] His father, Mordechai Aryeh Yosef Weinberger (March 24, 1923 - February 10, 2020), and his mother, were both Holocaust survivors from Munkacs and Ungvar who went through the Nazi concentration camps,[1] and his grandparents were Belzer Hasidim.

He strongly encourages the learning of penimius hatorah and chassidus for people of all ages, and believes that it is an extremely important component of one developing his relationship with God.

He also encourages the path of hisbodedus in which a person speaks to God in their own words with strong feelings outside of the context of the three time daily traditional Jewish prayer services.

[11] His teachings derive from a wide range of sources across the hashkafic board of Judaism, including the Baal Shem Tov, Ramchal, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, Chabad, and Izbica, Peshischa as well as from the Vilna Gaon, Rav Tzadok HaKohen, and Rabbi Avraham Yitzchok HaKohen Kook, among others.

[18][19] In the aftermath, many leaders of the free world issued statements condemning the attacks, with the former United States President Donald J. Trump describing it as "pure evil".

[20] Many communities, cities, and sports events held vigils, memorial ceremonies and moments of silence in respect to the victims who were killed.

In his speech he stated that this is the punishment of those who do the sins of the Dor HaMabul and that such is the reason why the Tree of Life synagogue, whose congregation identifies as conservative and egalitarian was specifically attacked.

[24] In the released recording, he emphasised that regardless of what they were doing at the time of the attack or their affiliation to the conservative movement of judaism, they were raised as such ("tinokos shenishba" lit.

[27] Since 2011, he has produced four volumes of English translation and commentary on the Hebrew sefer Oros HaTeshuva by Rabbi Avraham Yitzchok HaKohen Kook, published under the title Song of Teshuva.

Rabbi Weinberger wears a full Chasidic levush, including a rekkel and bieber hat during the week as well as a bekeshe and shtreimel on Shabbos and Yom Tov.
