Rabbi, Army Veteran, Painter & Tiktok Influencer
Ben Shimone is a dynamic Tampa-based rabbi known for blending spirituality with creativity and humor. As a talented painter, he uses his art to express deep religious and philosophical themes, often drawing on his Jewish heritage.
After graduating from Adelpi University and being ordained as a rabbi, Ben Shimone enrolled in the US Army where he served as a Jewish Chaplain for 22 years nurturing the wounded and caring for the dead. He also provided crucial spiritual support to his fellow soldiers by conducting Jewish military retreats, Shabbat, and Holocaust observances at Fort Lewis WA, Fort Bragg NC, Camp Victory Iraq, Ali Salem Kuwait, MacDill AFB Florida, Seoul Korea (where he was featured on Army & Airforce TV), Fort Campbell SC as well as other top-secret locations.
Presently, Ben Shimone is focusing on Talmud study, Jewish outreach, battling "world-wide api’korsus" and conducting "goy’ish focused education and entertainment". Shimone has been banned twice by TikTok for teaching the “History and Maps of the Middle East drawn up by the British after WWI”... המבין יבין. Ben Shimone uniquely bridges faith, art, and entertainment, inspiring followers with his humor, creativity, wisdom and witty politically-charged original songs as Rabbi Aaron Price on Soundcloud.
