Fainshtein (Feinstein) Ber Mendelevich (27 November 1931, Ludza) — worker.

Ber Fainstein was born into the family of Mendel Moiseyevich Fainshtein (1888, Ludza — 1941, Vyazniki) and Liba Bentsionovna Fainshtein (1892, Ludza — 1963, Riga). He received incomplete secondary education.

He worked at various enterprises: the “VEF” factory (1948–1951), the “RVZ” factory (1952–1953), the artel “Association” (1954–1956), the footwear factory “Record” (1956–1959), and the “Ausma” factory (1960).

In 1972, he received permission to emigrate to Israel, where since 1965 lived his wife’s parents — Yankel Lazarevich Khait (1906, Rēzekne) and Khena Abramovna Khait (née Zakher; 1904, Daugavpils) — as well as his wife’s sister Gita Yankelevna Eidelman (née Khait; 1929, Riga).
