WEINSTEIN Esther Wilf Weinstein, “Et” to her loving hus-
band Emanuel “Manny” of 72 years, wonder-
ful “Mom” to her son Mark and daughter Bar-
bara (Steven) Gilbert, “Mom-Mom Esther” to
her adoring 4 grandchildren, and “GG Esther”
to her 5 Great Grandchildren, passed away
peacefully on November 22, 2020 at her res-
idence in Lafayette Hill, PA. She was 93. As a
youngster Esther became proficient in the
Yiddish language, so much so that she
played background piano music for Nathan
Fleisher, the host of a Yiddish Philadelphia
radio broadcast. Many years later, being the
only one fluent in Yiddish, she also had the
opportunity to converse with Haim Hazaz, Is-
rael’s Poet Laureate, during a Philadelphia
visit where he received an honorary degree
from Dropsie University. Esther was a gradu-
ate of West Philadelphia High School. After
High School Esther worked as a bookkeeper
and volunteered at the USO during WWII for
which she was honored for her service. She
married Manny in 1948, started her family,
and continued her volunteer work. Esther
was honored for 34 years of continuous vo-
lunteer service in the admissions office of
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia along
with her friend Betty Koop (Dr. C. Everett
Koop, Surgeon General) who she met and be-
came close through her volunteer work. Es-
ther’s volunteer efforts also extended to fund
raising, luncheons, and entertaining of nu-
merous scholars and Rabbis in their home
for Dropsie University and her affiliation with
Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El Synagogue. Dur-
ing her free time she enjoyed her family,
bridge, tennis, and especially cooking. Travel-
ing with her husband Manny was always
something Esther enjoyed, especially when
the destination was the land of Israel. Esther
will always be remembered by family and
friends for her joie de vivre, her welcoming
smile, and her kind, generous nature. Esther
is also survived by her sister, Marian Greif. A
private service for immediate family was held
graveside. In lieu of flowers the family asks
that donations be made to The Children’s
Hospital of Philadelphia.
