Rabbi Posner, who served for 40 years as a congregational rabbi at Temple Emanu-El, seemed to have a natural affinity for those who toil and suffer in privacy, Mr. Modell and others said. “I take care of God’s children.”David Marc Posner was born on Nov. 4, 1947, in Atlantic City to Ralph and Doris (Silver) Posner. His mother was a homemaker who later became a schoolteacher; his father was an executive at a shipping logistics company. The family moved to Brownsville, Brooklyn, when David was a child. They had attended Meyer Levin Junior High School and Samuel J. Tilden High School, both in Brooklyn.
