He served as eastern Canadian vice-president of the national fund in 1967. He also served as president of the fund, and of the Atlantic Region Zionist Organization of Canada. He was former executive member and treasurer of the New Brunswick Museum, was active in the affairs of the New Brunswick Protestant Orphans Home, a member of the Saint John Board of Trade and worked with the Red Feather Campaign and the United Fund of Greater Saint John.

Florida, on Feb. 25, 1967, Mitchell Bernstein, survived by one son, one daughter, two brothers, four sisters, five grandchildren, and several nephews and nieces. The body will arrive by plane Monday morning, and will rest at the vestry of Shaarei Zedek Synagogue, Carleton Street, from where the funeral will be held Monday afternoon with service at 3 o’clock. Interment in Fernhill Cemetery. Evening Times Globe February 1967 Theatre Pioneer And Active Citizen The passing of Mr. Mitchell S. Bernstein breaks one of the few remaining links with the early days of the motion picture business in this part of Canada. The B. and L. Theatre Circuit, in which he had been a partner since 1928, came into being at a time when history-making developments were taking place in the motion picture world with the approach of the 'talkies'. The company, recognizing the prospect that the silent era would soon fade into oblivion, pioneered in the introduction of talking pictures in this region and continued to grow with the advance of the new entertainment medium. Mr. Bernstein was well known also in the real estate and apartment field in Saint John. But despite the extent of his business activities he found time to take a prominent role in a great many aspects of the work of the Shaarei-Zedek Congregation, the Zionist Organization of Canada, and the Israel bond and appeal campaigns. These constructive efforts were recognized in various honors Mr. Bernstein was accorded both in Canada and in Israel. His leadership will be missed in this community, and many friends of all faiths will be saddened by his death. Bernstein, Mitchell S. Evening Times Globe February 1967 Community Mourns Mitchell Bernstein Mitchell S, Bernstein, a prominent local business man, passed away in hospital in Miami Beach, Florida, Saturday afternoon, following a brief illness. He was born in New York City, in 1895, the son of the late Louis and Fanny Bernstein. He had been a resident of Saint John for over 50 years. Mr. Bernstein founded the Mitchell Apartments and also was one of the principal owners of the Latour Terrace Buildings, on Union Street. Mitchell Street, in the city, was named after him. In partnership with Joseph Lieberman, he formed the B and L Theatre Circuit, which covers the Maritime Provinces and Maine, with its head office in Saint John. This partnership, which was formed in June 1928, nearly 40 years ago, was the first company to introduce talking pictures to the area, with the partners using their own equipment on the road. Mr. Bernstein was married to the late Clara Goldfeather who passed away in 1962. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. E. R. Cohen (Erminie), one son Mortimer L., both of Saint John, five grandchildren; two brothers, Moe Bernstein, New York City, Willie Bernstein, Los Angeles; four sisters, Mrs. Bessie Margolian, Omaha, Neb.; Mrs. Sam Mollet, Mrs. Sam Rosenberg, and Miss Zelda Bernstein, all of Los Angeles, and several nephews and nieces. Active in the community projects, he was a past president of the Shaarei Zedek Congregation, as well as holding many other positions with the congregation. An ardent sportsman, he was at one time a member of the Saint John Boxing Commission. He was a chartered member of B’nai Birth, the Motion Picture Pioneers, Variety Club of Toronto, and a member of Masonic Lodge No. 17, Halifax. He was an honorary vice president of the Zionist Organization of Canada. In May 1954, the Saint John Jewish Community honored him with a testimonial and Negev Dinner. A grove of trees known as 'The Mitchell Sydney Bernstein Grove' in Israel bears tribute to his devotion and services to the Jewish Community. He was the first chairman of the Israel Bond Campaign, with Mitchell Franklin. He is a past president of the YMHA, and produced many shows, which were very successful and held in the vestry of the synagogue. He also chaired many United Israel Appeal campaigns, as well as many other community organization dinners. Bernstein, Mitchell S. The funeral service will be held today at 3 o’clock conducted by Rabbi A. Feffer, from the Congregation Shaarei Zedek vestry. The body is expected to arrive this morning at 10:45 o’clock.
