In Memoriam, Rabbi Mark Greenberg

Mark and Daniah Greenberg

Mark Greenberg departed to be with Yeshua Friday night, January 13, after a brave, two-year struggle with vascular disease.

He was the rabbi of Shalom Rome, a UMJC-affiliated congregation in Rome, Georgia, from 2016 until the Covid pandemic and his condition led to his medical retirement in 2020. Mark was also a cofounder of the Tree of Life Bible Society along with his wife, Daniah, and served as the chairman of its Board of Directors until 2021. In this role he supported his family in every way possible in their work with Tree of Life.

Mark Greenberg was ordained by the IAMCS in 1999, led a congregation in Syracuse, NY, called New Beth Israel for 10 years before moving to Ft Lauderdale to assist with Temple Aron HaKodesh’s leadership transition. Then, with the TLV becoming a fully-fledged ministry, he went back into secular work as an electrical engineer to support the family while the translation was completed.

He is survived by his wife, Daniah Greenberg, and his three children, Amanda, Joseph (and wife Brittni) and Simeon (and wife Hanah), and his three grandchildren, Rose, Marigold, and Levi. At Mark’s request the family asks that any memorial gifts be given to “The Poppyseed Fund” at the TLV Bible Society, to give Bibles to children. A public memorial service will be held at 7:00 PM, Tuesday, January 17, at Prayer Mountain in Dallas.

Rabbinic Counsel Russ Resnik adds, “I had the privilege and blessing of spending time with Mark via Zoom after his health began to decline a couple of years ago, until his condition no longer allowed it. He was a man of great heart, deep awareness of God and his ways, and profound love for his family.”
