Reb Sholom Dovber “Berel” Neumark of Long Beach, NY, passed away Monday night after a brief but serious illness.
He was 75.
Born in Russia to Reb Moshe Yosef and Luba Neumark (nee Lipskier), he survived the many challenges Jews faced at the time.
For the past 17 years he lived in Long Beach, NY, where he was a supporter of many Jewish causes, in particular Chabad, the BACH and other local Jewish organizations.
He is survived by his wife, Shelley and children Laura and Adam.
He is also survived by his siblings Mrs. Menucha Gerstel – Montreal, Canada and R’ Avrohom Neumark – Bet Shemesh, Israel.
He was predeceased by his sisters Mrs. Necha Rubin and Mrs. Bat Sheva Safran.
The levaya will take place today, Tuesday at Shomrei Hadas Chapels in Boro Park at 1:00 pm and will pass by 770 Eastern Parkway at 1:45 pm, and will proceed to Old Montefiore cemetery in Queens where he will be buried.
Shiva will be observed at the Neumark Residence

A wonderful true uncle even though I’m his niece by marriage. He cared about me and gave tsedakah to my Chabad house in California. he will be missed
Bernie was like the Caring Dad I never had. He taught me a lot about being a good Jew. He was very important in my life and will be missed dearly. Bernie the community will miss you. Ari
An unapologetic chossid of the Rebbe and a wonderful man. A tremendous giver of tzedakah, and a strong pillar of the long beach community, everyone who met him would remember his joyful presence. A truly devistating loss. Such a nice man who gave so much to klal yisorel.
Stayed by their house. Such a warm, friendlyan, filled with simchas hachayim.
to a good friend who cared, and was accepting of all people.
Beryl was truly one of a kind. One of the most caring people I have ever met and he always took time to speak with everyone.
When he found out that my wife and I did not have sheva brachos planned for 1 night, he immediately went into action behind the scenes to plan one. I know the Rebbe said every Yid is a diamond, but Beryl was truly a gem of man.
He will be sorely missed. His neshama should have an aliyah.
Was such a big bal chesed and visionary
Reb Beryl was an amazing man!!! such aloss
Sorry to hear, rabbi Berle was such a nice man warm heart and wonderful smile who always greeted all with a big warm hello , his neshoma should have an Aliya
The community is a shining jewel containing some of the most sincere,generous and truly decent people in the world.
Berel…We will sorely miss you at our weekday davening in Farmingdale.. no one can fill your void..may your neshama have an aliyah
I direct a Chabad House hundreds of miles away from where he lived and never met him in person, but every time I called him, he made a very generous contribution. (This is actually the first time I see a picture from him..) We all wish there were more friends like him out there.. He will be sorely missed by many shluchim and mosdois..
Our condolences to his family..
Reb Berl was a real big Baal Chesed and Baal Tzedakah, he will be missed by family, friends of all ages and by all who have enjoyed his support and always with a smile.
We got to know “Uncle Beryl” only the last few years. He was a wonderful and warm hearted Jew.
We will miss him.
