Our Rabbi and dear family friend passed away last night.
Rabbi Daniel Weiner (son) wrote “Rabbi Marty Weiner passed away peacefully and painlessly last night, before a majestic view as the lights went down in the City by the Bay he loved so much. He was nestled in the warm embrace of family that continuously let him know how much they loved him and how much he had given to them. זכר צדיק לברכה Zecher Tzadik Livracha–May the memory of the righteous be a blessing”.
Marlene, Jason and I met Marty the month we we moved to Marin, at the Briss of Jordan Weiss – son of our friends, Dan and Lisa Weiss. From that day on, Marty was our spiritual leader and friend. Marty was the Rabbi at the Bar Mitzvah of Jason; went to Israel to meet with Jason in Jerusalem when Jason served in the IDF in Gaza during the second Intifada; and married Jason and Lauren in Florida (Marty told Marlene and I that other than his children, Jason and Lauren are the only other people he traveled to out of SF to marry )
Our grandson Judah was a Bar Mitzvah last month and during the ceremony our Rabbi’s spirit was there blessing him.
Our hearts are heavy for the loss.
To the Wiener family, please know that Marty will be in our hearts and mind forever.
Shalom my friend
The Gerbsman Family
