Miami Beach to Name Street After Beloved Rabbi

— The late Rabbi Pinchas Weberman had lived in the city since 1960  —

Join Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner and City Commissioners as they name a street in honor of the late beloved Rabbi Pinchas Weberman. The dedication ceremony will take place on Monday, Dec. 11 at 2 p.m. near the intersection of Bonita and Indian Creek drives.

Weberman, who passed away in 2022 at the age of 92, was considered the architect of Orthodox Judaism in South Florida. He served as president of the Orthodox Council of South Florida and was the founder of Ohev Shalom Congregation. The synagogue was built in 1964 and is still located at 7055 Bonita Drive.

“Rabbi Weberman was a pioneer and leader in the Jewish community, police department and beyond — we honor his legacy,” said Mayor Steven Meiner.

A father of 15 children, Weberman also served as chaplain for the Miami Beach Police Department and was the founder and visionary of the Miami Beach Eruv Council. For decades, the Rabbi was a familiar sight on Fridays as he rode an all-terrain vehicle up and down the beach.
