David Joel Wolpe
Though Rabbi David Joel Wolpe’s community comes together through social media, he inspires 55,125 Facebook followers six days a week with his insightful comments on Shabbos, Torah, life, and our relationship with God, His world, and each other. I have shared so many of Rabbi Wolpe’s thoughts with my own Facebook friends that many of them have “liked” his page in order to have access to his wisdom and encouragement directly.Rabbi Wolpe is definitely a man worthy of recognition for his contributions to so many.
