Title |
The First Hasidic Rabbis in North America
|
Abstract |
Includes a biography of the Polish-born Rabbi Yudel Rosenberg (1859-1935), who immigrated from Eastern Europe to Toronto in 1913 and moved to Montreal in 1919. According to the author, Rosenberg "had been invited by a faction of butchers and slaughterers to become their chief rabbi and, not incidentally, to serve as a counterweight to the authority of R. Hirsch Cohen, a Lithuanian rabbi who had been in Montreal since the 1890s and was generally acknowledged by the city's established Jewish community as its chief rabbi." Rosenberg remained in Montreal until his death.
