Eli J Cabasso

אליהו יעקב כבאסו בן יחיה

1929-2023

Summary by his son, Jack E Cabasso

Eli Cabasso and his wife, Luna Shomer, met in Bradley Beach, NJ, on the beach in the summer of 1950. Luna had grown up in St. Louis, Missouri, where her father operated retail children’s wear and linen stores. They were engaged in winter 1951 and shortly there after Luna‘s father passed. They were married in July 1951 and immediately moved to St. Louis to operate Luna‘s father’s remaining two children’s wear stores. In 1981, they moved from St. Louis to West Long Branch, NJ, and lived there for 31 years. Eli worked in retail in New York City and made the long daily commute on the "SY bus." Eli learned how to read Torah and sing Pizmonim and Baqashot from his father, Jack Cabasso, who lived until 1972. On the weekends in NJ, Eli used those skills to read Torah. He prayed at the Synagogue of West Long Branch and then West Deal synagogue on Shabbats. He was very dedicated to this and made the long walk from West Long Branch to West Deal even in the rain and snow as he knew, the congregation was depending upon him.
