Tonight, the wedding of Shani Weinberger, daughter of Rav and Rebbetzin Moshe Weinberger, rov and rebbetzin of Congregation Aish Kodesh of Woodmere, will take place. The chosson, Elli Levin, is a son of Rabbi and Mrs. Shaya Levin of Flatbush, Brooklyn.
Rav Weinberger, a talmid of Yeshiva Rabbeinu Yitzchok Elchonon, was a talmid of Rav Dovid Lifshitz. He earned an MA in Jewish philosophy and holds an MS from Teachers College, Columbia University in educational administration.
Rav Weinberger descends from Belzer chassidim and made the decision as a teenager to drop out of law school and to focus on learning and eventually become a rov. Among his many achievements is that he has brought to the English speaking public the seforim of Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh. For over twenty years, Rav Weinberger was a rebbi at Ezra Academy in Queens.
He has built Aish Kodesh in Woodmere into one of the most popular shuls on Long Island. He has created what some have called a “revolution” in that part of New York, and is a sought-after speaker across the country.

One can only “drop out” of a school when one is actually attending the school… You can’t drop out of something you are not IN.
in addition you state
