Sidney Weinberg
Sidney James Weinberg (October 12, 1891 – July 23, 1969) was a long-time leader of the Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs, nicknamed “Mr. Wall Street” by ''The New York Times''〔Whitman, Alden. ("Sidney J. Weinberg, Known as 'Mr. Wall Street,' Is Dead at 77" ), ''The New York Times'', July 24, 1969, p. 1.〕 and "director's director" by ''Fortune'' magazine. In a rags-to-riches story, he rose from a janitor's assistant, making $3/week, to CEO.〔Malcolm Gladwell. ("The Uses of Adversity" ), ''The New Yorker'', November 10, 2008.〕
==Early life==
Weinberg's background contrasted sharply with that of the traditional Ivy League Wall Streeter. Weinberg was one of eleven children of a Jewish immigrant wholesale liquor dealer. His family were active members of Congregation Baith Israel Anshei Emes in Brooklyn, joining when the synagogue was on Boerum Place, and remaining with it when it moved to Cobble Hill. Sidney's mother, Sophie, was sisterhood president from 1912 to 1913, his father, Pincus, served as president from 1919 to 1921, and the children all attended the Sunday school and Talmud Torah. Sidney married Helen W. Livingston there in 1920.〔Barton, Evan. ("Brooklyn’s Oldest Synagogue Celebrates Its 150th Anniversary" ), ''Brooklyn Eagle'', June 22, 2006.〕〔Levin, Carol. "The Weinberg Family: Leaders during the Synagogue’s Golden Age", Kane Street Synagogue, , March 17, 2006.〕 Sidney's name does not appear in any synagogue documents after WWI, indicating less active membership in his adult life.
Weinberg dropped out of junior high school at P.S. 13, but got a letter of recommendation from one of his teachers to enter the job market. Sidney joined the workforce at the age of ten "selling newspapers at the Manhattan-Brooklyn ferry terminal, shucking oysters, and carrying feathers for a milliner." At one point, Sidney found jobs as a runner at three different brokerage houses. The conflicts of interest cost him all three positions.〔
