About Morris A. Zeldin
Morris A. Zeldin, a pioneer in the Zionist movement here 60 years ago and one of the organizers of the United Jewish Appeal of New York 37 years ago, died Thursday in Long Beach (L.I.) Memorial Hospital after a brief illness. He was 86 years old and lived at 3885 Darby Lane, Seaford, L.I.
Mr. Zeldin, a fund‐raiser for the U.J.A. since its inception in 1939, was a native of Petrokov, Russia. He came to the United States in 1912, settling in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, where he was known widely as a civil leader.
He was a close associate of many national and international Jewish and other leaders, including Chaim Weizmann, who became the first President of Israel in 1948. He aided Dr. Weizmann when he came to the United States in 1927 to raise money for the Zionist movement.
Mr. Zeldin, author of a number of articles for Jewish publications, is survived by three sons, Jack, of Seaford, Bernard of East Hampton, L.I., and Rabbi Isaiah Zeldin of the Stephen Wise Temple in Los Angeles; eight grandchildren, and six great grandchildren.
