Founding EYAHT
After giving weekly classes to women in her Kiryat Sanz apartment for several years, in 1984, with seed money from Aish HaTorah, she opened the EYAHT college in two ground-floor apartments located across the street from her home. She named the college "EYAHT" (Hebrew: א.י.ה.ת.) by creating an acronym for the phrase, אשה יראת ה' היא תתהלל, Eesha Yirat Adonoy Hee Tithallal, "A woman who fears God, she shall be praised" (Proverbs 31:30).
Currently Weinberg herself teaches The 48 Ways to Wisdom, a curriculum developed by Rabbi Weinberg based on Pirkei Avot. She also teaches a curriculum on the beauty and meaning of Shabbat, which she developed.
She places a strong emphasis on the role of the Jewish woman in her family and community, with special classes in shalom bayit (marital harmony) and chinuch habanim (raising Jewish children).
She is currently raising funds to construct a five-story, 15,400-square-foot (1,430 m2) campus for EYAHT in the Romema neighborhood.
