Funeral services for Pincus Weinberg, a founder and the first president of the East Midwood Jewish Center of Brooklyn, will be held this morning at 11 o’clock at the center, 1625 Ocean avenue. Rabbi Harry Halpern, of the congregation, and Rabbi Israel Goldfarb, of Temple Beth Israel Ansche Emeth, will officiate. Interment in Beth El Cemetery in Cypress Hills will follow.
Mr. Weinberg, who was sixty-six years old, died of a heart attack while talking to friends in the trustees’ room of the center last Saturday evening. A dinner which was to be held Sunday night to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the center’s founding was postponed indefinitely out of respect for Mr. Weinberg’s memory.
A resident of Brooklyn for more than forty years, the deceased was active in the affairs of the Jewish community and was particularly interested in the charity work of the Brooklyn Federation of Jewish Charities. He was connected with the brokerage firm of Filer & Co. in Manhattan.
Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Celia Weinberg; three sons, Mortimer, Sidney and Emile, and three daughters, Mrs. Louis Goldstein, wife of the City Court Justice, Mrs. Sylvia Klein and Mrs. Florentine Lieberman, all of Brooklyn.
