Hineini opens in 2026–2027 / 5787 with a founding cohort of boys ages 5 through 7. As the program grows year over year, additional age groups will be added. The founding cohort is limited — families are encouraged to express interest early.
Hineini operates exclusively at our physical facility in Hollywood, Florida, Monday through Friday. Every course, every project, every tefilla — in person, together. No virtual component.
Torat Yisrael, Eretz Yisrael, and Am Yisrael are not three separate programs. They are one living Torah education. The Parasha shapes the week and everything — learning, building, giving — flows from it.
Families retain full direction of their son’s Torah education. Hineini’s courses enhance and deepen what parents are already building at home. Boys must be registered as home education or scholarship students to participate.
Rabbi Lax serves as Menahel of Hineini, providing Torah leadership and setting the spiritual tone of the entire program. He oversees the integrity of the limudei kodesh curriculum, mentors the rebbeim, and ensures that every boy who walks through the doors feels the presence of a makom Torah. His vision shapes what Hineini is and who it is building.
Dr. Blaustein serves as Dean of Students, the heart of Hineini’s pastoral care. She oversees the wellbeing of every boy in the program, partners with families, ensures that the Am Track and middos programming are deeply embedded in daily life, and advocates for each student as an individual. Her door is always open — to boys, to parents, and to the community.
Rabbi Weinschneider serves as CEO of Hineini, providing the organizational leadership and strategic vision that makes the program possible. He oversees operations, partnerships, scholarship eligibility, enrollment, and the long-term growth of Hineini as a program and a community institution. His commitment is to ensure that Hineini is here — hineini — for every family that needs it.
