I was quite little when my grandfather passed away. I do remember he had a shul at 403 Legion Street in Brooklyn.
I believe he was a mentor for Rebbe Wolf Gruber who established a shul in Canarsie, Brooklyn named Temple Abraham.
We are honored that you are recognizing my grandfather. From accounts from my late mother he was a caring and learned rebbe.
Jared
what do you mean he was a mentor for Rabbi wolf Gruber
thanks
Did you have a relative, Hyman, married to Ethel, who was an optometrist in Canarsie? If so, we are cousins. My father, Jack Pasternack was Hyâs cousin.
Hi Jared,
You mentioned his shul on 403 Legion St. in Brooklyn, here is how it looked like around 1940:

Joyce and Rabbi Miller
Thank you so very much for your replies.
I am indeed Hy and Ethelâs nephew. My dad was Ted and my mom was Mildred. I am aware of the Pasternak name.
Rabbi Miller, thank you for the photograph. I do have some memories of the soul. It was really nice to see the photograph. I thank you.
Hi all,
Jared, so cool that you keep up with the family history! Many thanks to Rabbi Miller for posting a picture of my great-grandfather’s Shul. Joyce, Herman and Ethel were my paternal grandparents (their son Karl was my dad). So we too are distant cousins! Happy New Year to all! Best, Lisa
Jared,
I was doing a search for Rabbi Gruber’s shul in Brownsville and came upon this link. I knew Rabbi Gruber since I was a child. We davened at his shul until we moved from Canarsie in 2000. Rabbi Gruber moved from Canarsie in 1995 and subsequently passed away in 2005. The shul in Canarsie still carried the name of your grandfather, Beth Abraham of Flatlands.
Lisa, I havenât looked at this in years and was excited to see your comment. I met your dad but he was older than me. I loved your grandparents, in fact, worked for Hy at his practice when I was in high school.
I also remember Teddy and Mildred. I have an old family tree if you want to see it. sadiesgirl51@msn.com
