Martin (Marty) Weinstein, z”l, passed away July 4, 2022, after a fall resulting in major injuries. Marty is survived by his mother Elaine Weinstein, brother Jerry (Bhing) Weinstein, sister Roberta Weinstein, and nephew David Weinstein.

Born in 1959, Marty was preceded in death last fall by his father, Sanford (Sandy) Weinstein.

He was a very intelligent, kind-hearted man. He had a terrific sense of humor and a talent for telling hilarious jokes (and some not so hilarious). He had a unique gift for friendships with a long list of dear friends which goes back to his early childhood.

He was a good athlete, having a great golf swing and getting a hole in one at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. Another favorite sport of Marty's was squash.

Marty was also a lover of books and a voracious reader. He had a library with hundreds of books dealing with political science, literature, philosophy, religion and modern detective stories. He graduated from the University of Oregon with a triple major in International Studies.

For several years, Marty worked for Pollin Hotels at the Portland International Airport. He had many good friends in his life. He maintained close friends from grade school through college and beyond. He was always happy to encourage friends who needed a lift. Marty was a good man. One of his dearest friends recently told us that "Marty was the most genuine person she'd ever met."

A funeral service will be held on Sunday, July 10, at 11 am in the main Sanctuary at Congregation Beth Israel. Guests are welcome to attend in-person or via livestream https://www.bethisrael-pdx.org/worship/watch-services-live/.

The funeral will be followed by a burial at Neveh Zedek Cemetery, where Marty will be buried next to his beloved grandfather, Arthur Weinstein.
