He runs the starship Beth Jacob and will soon pilot the Orthodox Union.
He has a powerful roladex and can get things done with a call or two.
A body needs to shipped to Israel for a quick burial? Rabbi Weil will make a few calls and it’s arranged.
He walks into the home of mourners and scans their bookshelf. He finds a book on Jabotinsky. He finds out the deceased was related to Jabotinsky. Voila, he produces a drasha on Jabotinsky.
His main achievements while here include:
* Healing the community after the catastrophic Rabbi Weiss departure
* Redoing the administration and hiring Allan Ishakis as Executive Director (things now run very smoothly)
* Bringing in several new important donors
* Redoing the entire downstairs
* The acquisition of the lot next door (cnr Doheny and Olympic) which has now been transformed into "Jacob’s Garden" – a beautiful park
He is a sincere and generous man on a one-to-one basis – and will liberally share even his most expensive cigars and rarest single malts.
