I am the great granddaughter of Rabbi Moses Weinberger. Would it be possible for you to send me a translation of the Hebrew writing on his tombstone and that of his wife Soly? I would appreciate your assistance. Nancy Strausman

Rabbi Weinberger was also for a time Rabbi in Scranton PA, the first speech in his sefer ‘Darash Darash Moshe’ (New York, 1914) was delivered upon his arrival to scranton in 1891.

My great great grandmother was married to a Weinberger from Hungary. I always heard about the Streits Mazoh being started by the Rabbi. My mother was blessed by him as a child. I would like to know my relation with him and was wondering if anyone has a family tree. I think my g-g-grandfather could be brother/cousin of the Rabbi. Would appreciate the help. Thanks
